When it finally hit me why Stephen Harper suddenly cut ties with Iran, I felt slightly dizzy. So great was my horror. For it seems obvious to me that it had little or nothing to do with security, and everything to do with an orchestrated campaign by Benjamin Netanyahu to

Montreal Simon: Stephen Harper: When the Bully is Beaten
Well there he was in a classroom in Vancouver, in yet another tightly controlled phony photo-op. Handing out E.I. benefits to the parents of sick kids, posing as Big Daddy, but still sounding like Big Brother. Prime Minister Stephen Harper is defending the independence of the environmental review process underway for
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Darth Harper and the End of the Con Empire
It must have seemed like such a good idea to a man like Stephen Harper. He would teach Obama to humiliate him by delaying approval of the Keystone XL pipeline. By making Americans think the Democrats are driving Canada into the arms of their Chinese enemies. Because they don't call
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Desperate Makeover
Uh oh. This could be ugly. I mean pretty. It looks as if Stephen Harper is badly in need of a major makeover. Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s public approval ratings have reached an all-time low in 2012, and Nanos Research president Nik Nanos says the Conservatives may want to begin
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Redneck Rodeo
It's hard to imagine a more horrible or absurd sight, than Great Black Hat Leader at the Redneck Rodeo. Posing as a pretty Brokeback cowboy, pursued by a posse of horny admirers. But sounding like a rabid Alberta separatist. "I think if the founders could be here today and see
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Speaking Truth to Power in Harperland
I think this cartoon in the Toronto Star neatly sums up what Stephen Harper did on Parliament Hill the other day. Turn a celebration of Canada, into a shameless and grotesque celebration of HIMSELF. Declaring outrageously that his Con regime was "caring and compassionate." Wading into a select crowd of
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Conada Day Horror Show
I tuned into the Canada Day show on Parliament Hill today just as they were playing God Save The Queen. And just in time to see Great Patriotic Leader proclaim that we should all be happy and proud to be Canadians. In his remarks, Harper told the crowd that Canadians
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Naked Emperor and the Con Regime
If I had painted this picture of Great Ugly Gorgeous Leader, I would have put a crown on his head, and made his buttocks more fleshy, like one of Picasso's women. Or the ridiculous Con prude James Moore. But apart from that I quite like Margaret Sutherland's Emperor Haute Couture.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Peter MacKay and the Libyan Fiasco
Oh no.Try to keep this one confidential eh? Because if the Russians find out, they'll invade us tomorrow. But it seems that Peter Dumbo MacKay, our Minister of War, is having trouble crunching massaging the numbers. Again. Amid allegations the Conservative government intentionally lowballed the price of the F-35 stealth
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Harpo Hate Monster and the Liberals
Oh. Mein.Cabaret. It's showtime in Harperland. The Cons are screening their latest attack ad. And this time the Harpo hate monster is going after the NDP !!! But wait what's this? Despite the creepy Halloween theme, the critics are panning it. Not because it's clearly a product of Stephen Harper's
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Is Stephen Harper Losing His Marbles?
I told you last night I've never seen Stephen Harper look so weak and so vulnerable. So wonderfully insane, so beautifully SCARED. Well, that's the photographic evidence, and this is why. The federal New Democrats are enjoying a rise in support that puts them ahead of the Conservatives following the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Con Photo-Op Machine
When I first saw this picture a couple of years ago, I remember being seized with the sudden urge to run to the toilet, and vomit violently. And of course I never forgave Bryan Adams. But now that I’ve heard his version of what happened I’m feeling a little more
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Is Stephen Harper Going Off the Deep End?
In all my years of studying Stephen Harper, like a bug, I have never seen him look and act so crazy. Blaming the RoboCon scandal on the Liberals. As only he could. Or hunched over his desk writing away, pretending to ignore a debate about whether he stole an election.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Scary Christmas Message
Oh boy. It was such a lovely evening. The setting sun glowed golden. And for the first time this winter it was cold enough to imagine it was almost Christmas in Canada. But sadly that golden glow didn’t last long. For when I went home and put on the TV,
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Scary Christmas Party
OMG. I don’t know whether I should tell you, because you’ll NEVER believe me. But I went to Stephen Harper’s Con Christmas party last night. And boy was it SCARY. Of course, the theme WAS fear and paranoia. Suspicious Conservatives are vetting guests to their annual caucus Christmas party in
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Royal Plan to Kill Canada
I wish I could laugh at Stephen Harper’s ridiculous attempt to return us to the days when we were British.This is all fairly subtle, of course. We’re not going back to the days when every classroom featured a royal portrait and we started every da…
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Napoleon Complex
One of the things that worries me the most about Stephen Harper is the way he loves to play soldier, or Great Warrior Leader. One day he’s Stalin, the next day he’s Harpo of Kandahar, and the next moment he’s Napoleon.Because what else could …
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Royal Blunder
OMG. How pathetic. More evidence that Stephen Harper wants to drag this country back to its colonialist past.Look, if our ridiculous would be dictator wants to put on a pith helmet and pretend he’s Lord Stephen of Alberta and Etobicoke, that’…
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Capitalist Pig and the Harper Cons
I really have to hand it to John Ibbitson, his timing couldn’t be better. As the bloated capitalist pig stumbles around in its final agony. And threatens to plunge us into another devastating recession.He’s scribbling away furiously, urging Stephen Har…

Well I see Stephen Harper has surfaced at last, and I was shocked to see that he was looking a little pale around the gills.At first I thought this might be to blame.”I do think Canadians will find this disappointing,” Harper said. “I think Canadians e…
