I've been trying to soak up every precious minute of summer I can. Trying to escape the city by heading out on the lake, to feel the wind in my face or the sun beating down on me.Or just lying in my hammock, with my cell phone turned off, reading

Montreal Simon: Jesus Harper and the Corrupt Con Cult
When I first read the story about the Con MP who compared Stephen Harper to Jesus I must admit I was greatly amused.As were so many others. I wondered whether Wai Young was a religious fanatic, and whether she really believed what she was saying.Or was just trying to please Jesus
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Could the Great Con War on Marijuana Be About To Backfire Badly?
I don't know if you've noticed, but Rona Ambrose has recently stepped up the Great Con War on Marijuana.By rerunning that old anti-marijuana ad, the one with dirty glass tubing representing the human brain on drugs.And sticking us with the bummer bill. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Con MP Compares Stephen Harper to Jesus Christ
Well I must admit that even though I am an atheist I never would have compared Stephen Harper to Jesus.Not with that face, not with those horns.And not for bringing in Bill C-51 or imposing tougher prison sentences.But that is what a Con MP has just done. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: How the State of the Economy Could Kill the Harper Cons
As you know Stephen Harper is now engaged in a delicate balancing act, or caught in a compromising position.He's trying to claim that when the economy was doing well it was because he's a Great Economist Leader.But now that it isn't doing well it's not his fault.But sadly for him it's
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The NDP Finally Fires an Attack Ad at the Corrupt Harper Cons
About a week ago I wrote about how disappointed I was to hear both Tom Mulcair and Justin Trudeau declare that they would not attack Stephen Harper like he attacks them.And I even wondered whether they were trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. For no government in Canadian history
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Pierre Poilievre, Mini Harper, and the Con Race to the Bottom
As I'm sure you remember, the last time we dropped in on Pierre Poilievre aka Pee Wee or Dickhead, he was posing with a pile of child care benefit cheques at a printing facility in Winnipeg.Just to let millions of Canadians with children under eighteen know that the cheque was almost in
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Deluded and Dangerous Economic Lies
It couldn't have been a more disgraceful sight. Or one more pathetic.Stephen Harper posing in front of a wall of fidgeting and yawning children.Admitting for the first time that the economy is in trouble.But somehow managing to blame others. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The New Stealthy Con Attack Ad That Could Help Destroy the Con Regime
There's a new Con attack ad out there aimed at Justin Trudeau. I'd heard about it but last night I saw it for the first time, and it couldn't be more disgusting.Not just because it tries to terrorize seniors. Not just because it's another Big Lie. But also because it's
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Why It’s Too Risky To Let The Harper Cons Remain in Office
Well there was Stephen Harper last night, at the opening ceremony of the Pan Am Games with his hapless stooge Joe Oliver at his side.Both of them trying to look like they were having a good time.But not quite pulling it off, and with good reason.For it was yet another
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Crimes of the Con Regime and the Country We Could Be
As the fireworks burst over my neighbourhood last night, and I watched the Cirque du Soleil's amazing performance at the opening ceremony of the Pan Am games, I was reminded of the country we could be.A still young country that could dazzle the world in a peaceful beautiful way. A
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Great Con Debate Fiasco
As we all know Stephen Harper was hoping to torpedo the political leaders's debates, by boycotting the ones organized by the big three tv networks. The ones that millions of Canadians watch.And replacing them with a series of smaller debates, with friendlier moderators, on channels that hardly anyone watches.And hoping
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump, Stephen Harper, and the Bigots That Flock Together
Golly. I never thought I'd be happy to see the grotesque billionaire bigot Donald Trump doing well at anything.But I must say this is very encouraging. "Trump's really caught fire with voters on the far right — 66% of 'very conservative' voters see him favorably to only 24% with a negative view
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Disappearing Budget Surplus
Well he's still out there with his trusty sidekick the rhinestone Cowboy Jason Kenney, trying to put a brave face on the situation.Still serving pancakes to the faithful, and judging from this photo, no doubt scoffing back a few of them himself.But it's clear that the stress is getting to him. For
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Joe Oliver, Stephen Harper, and the Great Con Economic Meltdown
As you know, I believe that we need a Con like Joe Oliver as our Finance Minister at a time like this one, like a drowning man needs an anvil. I think that he's just a puppet of the PMO, that Stephen Harper pulls his strings, and tells him what to
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Mean Streak of the Con Regime
There are so many reasons to despise Stephen Harper and his monstrous Con regime.For what they have done to Canada, and what they might do to it if they are re-elected. But for me the main reason is what Gerald Caplan calls its mean streak. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Heroic Vote of the Long Suffering Greek People
For years they have had to endure the pain of austerity. Look on helplessly as their jobs disappeared, and their pensions shrank.But still the cruel and greedy banksters wanted to impose even more austerity upon them. And humiliate them further for daring to elect a left-wing government.But today the Greek people
Continue readingMontreal Simon: First It Was Harper’s Police Now It’s Harper’s Army
A few days ago I wrote a post about how Stephen Harper was turning the RCMP into Harper's police.Just another tool in his campaign to try to win the next election.Now please stand to attention, kiss our democracy goodbye.And salute Harper's Army. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Most Sad and Pathetic Calgary Stampede
Well there he was in this PMO picture, at the Calgary Stampede in his black bad guy cowboy hat, framed between a horse and a horse's ass.Watching the parade and trying to put on a brave face, or smile like a winner. Or at least open his mouth and show his
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Pierre Poilievre and the Scandalous Con Plan to Buy the Election
As you may remember, when I last dropped in on Pierre Poilievre, I found him wandering around at a clothing sale in an Ottawa hockey arena.Making a vanity video, desperately trying to buy votes with the Con's so-called Universal Child Care Benefit.And even more desperately trying to do something, ANYTHING,
