Well now we've heard it from the horse's mouth, or the horse's ass, or the scary puppet Stephen Harper himself. He will NOT take part in the biggest of the political leader debates. Prime Minister Stephen Harper reiterated Friday he will not take part in a national English debate that would

Montreal Simon: Orange Wave Rising: A New Poll Shows the NDP On Top
Last week I said that the way Tom Mulcair's NDP was surging in the polls it wouldn't be long before it passed both the Liberals and the Cons.And sure enough that seems to be what's happened. A new EKOS poll has the NDP on top. And another orange wave is now a
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Chicken Harper and the Great Con Debate Scam
Well now it’s official. The Con fluffer Kory Teneycke and his chicken leader Stephen Harper really don’t want any serious political leader’s debates.They want to hold their own mini-debates, and prevent as many Canadians as possible from watching them. So they won’t take part in any organized by the country’s major
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Will Stephen Harper Really Get Away With Rewriting History?
It couldn't be a more Orwellian move, or a greater threat to our democracy.Stephen Harper's outrageous decision to protect the RCMP by rewriting history. But this is Harperland, he is drunk with power, he really does believe the truth is what he says it is, and he is out of control.So it
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Will the Con’s Porky Behaviour Cost Them the Next Election?
As you probably know Stephen Harper's Cons have been in a feverish, grunting frenzy recently.Running wildly all over the country, spewing our tax dollars out of every orifice, in a blatant attempt to bribe voters, and try to buy the next election.But although Canadians have seen this disgusting spectacle before,
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Jason Kenney, Stephen Harper, and the Absurd Chicken Hawk Cons
In retrospect it could only be called a triumph of bad timing. For there was Jason Kenney at the Canadian Club in Toronto, puffing out his chest like a chicken hawk, and claiming that the Great War in Iraq was going according to plan.Despite the setback in Ramadi. The seizure of
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Madness of Stephen Harper and the Insane War on Science
In my last post I looked at Stephen Harper's Great War on Canada. And because it's such a vast subject and such a long nightmare, it raised a lot of disturbing questions.Like is he the Axis or the Essence of Evil? Or is he just CRAZY?So I'm really grateful that
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Is Stephen Harper the Worst Prime Minister in Canadian History?
It's not a question most people who know me would dare ask me.Lest they be forced to listen to a five-minute diatribe, or watch my face turn red, and smoke pour out of my ears.But now somebody has asked the question: Is Stephen Harper the worst prime minister EVER? And since
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Great Failing Con War on Terror
I don't know if you've noticed, but Stephen Harper has suddenly stopped talking about the Great War on Terror, and the Great Terrorist Menace.These days he wants to project a kinder gentler image as a Great Friend of Children Leader.So now almost every photo-op features a group of bored kids in
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Cowardly Dodger Stephen Harper and the Great Con Debate Scam
It's frustrating to see that even some of my readers think that Stephen Harper's crass attempt to fix the party leader's debates might be good for progressives.And are sending me comments like this one, with lots of periods in it:Anonymous 2:29 AM Let.the.other.Parties.Debate.without.him.and.it.will.be.HarperCons.Downfall…Good.for.Canadians!!!!!So that I might read it slowly, and understand
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Revolt of the Scientists
In his almost ten years in power Stephen Harper has done so much to diminish our once proud country and shame it in the eyes of the world.And few things are more deeply disturbing and more disgusting than his Great War on Science.For without truth there can be no democracy. Just
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Robert Fisk: Why Harper’s Blind Support of Israel is Dangerous
Last week I wrote that Stephen Harper's threat to use hate laws against Canadians who peacefully protest the actions of Israel's brutish Netanyahu regime, was the first shadow of a police state. Now Robert Fisk, the distinguished Middle East correspondent, has taken that criticism a step further.By calling Harper's blind support of Israel both crazy
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Real Reason Stephen Harper Wants To Sabotage the Election Debates
A couple of days ago I wrote a post about Stephen Harper's plan to torpedo the party leader debates, or shrink them until he can drown them in a bath tub.And I said how shocked I was to see many in the MSM, and even some progressives, swallow the Con
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Strange and Desperate Spring
He is still campaigning furiously all over the country, sprinkling dollars all over the place, trying to buy the next election.But the spring has gone out Harper's step, he seems listless at times, his cold dead eyes seem deader than usual. He's packing on the pounds.The events of the last
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Why Bill C-51 Is Starting to Terrorize Stephen Harper
It couldn't be more ironic. Stephen Harper creates a monster called Bill C-51, to go after his enemies, and scare Canadians into submission.So he can turn this country into a police state.But before he can unleash the monster on the population, the monster slowly turns around, grunts loudly.And starts scaring

For almost ten years Stephen Harper has tried to brutalize this country beyond recognition, bludgeon our democracy, and rape our values.But still his bestial lust for destruction isn't satisfied. Because now as you probably know, he's trying to blow up the party leader debates.Read more »

It's the third time the Supreme Court of Canada has been asked to rule on the case of Omar Khadr.Twice before it has ruled in his favour, and today it did so again.And the way it did couldn't have been more of a slap in the face, or a kick
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Orwellian Move to Protect the RCMP
Sometime today Canada's Information Commissioner is expected to recommend that charges be laid against the RCMP, for withholding and destroying gun registry documents, before Parliament had finished debating whether they should be shredded.But if she does it will now be a meaningless gesture. For it too will be shredded.Because it seems that buried
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper, The Duffy Trial, and the Lost Summer
It's sometimes hard to remember, and even harder to believe, that Stephen Harper came to power promising to clean up government.And a new era of accountability.But we all know how that turned out. That was then.This is now… And now that we know that there is even more evidence that
