Montreal Simon: The Wonderful and Neverending Pounding of Pierre Poilievre
The one good thing about the foul Fair Elections Act is the way it has transformed Pierre Poilievre into a parliamentary punching bag.Because it seems that every day somebody is taking a shot at him and his bill.And today it was the election expert Harry Neufeld's turn to tell Poilievre
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Rob Anders and the Shootout at the Con Corral
When I see two guys getting ready to fight each other, my usual instinct is to try to separate them before somebody gets hurt.In the best peacekeeping tradition of this country.Or whatever… But I have to admit that when I see Cons getting ready to fight each other, especially in redneck
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Insane Clown Circus
I have to admit that sometimes I can't decide whether Stephen Harper and his Cons are an insane clown posse, or just circus clowns who are so dumb they're dangerous.But today at least that choice was a little easier.Because the leader of the Con posse was in Germany, scaring the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Scandalous Challenger Problem
Once upon a time Stephen Harper used to take a perverse pleasure in going after the Liberals for using taxpayer's money to fly around in Challenger jets.But once he came to power he changed his mind.And now he uses them all the time to ferry him and his friends around.And
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Jean-Pierre Kingsley and the Education of Pierre Poilievre
I've always had a lot of respect for Jean-Pierre Kingsley, the former Chief Electoral Officer. So when I saw that he had given the Fair Elections Act an A- I practically collapsed.Shocked by the thought that a man like him could give such a generous grade to such a foul bill. And
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Harperland and the Great Canadian Resistance
For years Stephen Harper and his PMO thugs have had their way with this country. Defiling our values and traditions, muzzling our democracy, and dragging us into their filthy darkness.But now at last they have gone too far. And as the author of Harperland points out, even in this frigid land,
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Is Stephen Harper Preparing to Reappoint Marc Nadon?
I can hardly believe it, so disturbing, so absolutely insane is the idea.Stephen Harper has just been slapped in the face by the Supreme Court for trying to appoint a judge who wasn't qualified for the job.He has been humbled and humiliated by a 6-1 decision.He should be sitting in
Continue readingMontreal Simon: How To Move Young Canadians To Help Defeat Stephen Harper
It should be obvious by now that the key to winning the next election is getting out the vote.For why else would Stephen Harper and his Con regime be going to such desperate lengths to suppress it?And there isn't a group that needs to be encouraged more to vote than
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Supreme Day of Humiliation
It has to be the most humiliating moment of Stephen Harper's political life.He tried to appoint a judge to the Supreme Court who wasn't properly qualified, for crass political reasons.He rushed the appointment through Parliament, and then tried to change the law retroactively to make it legal.He tried to subvert the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Day Stephen Harper Was Pounded By the Supreme Court
Well it's lucky he is in Ukraine challenging Vladimir Putin to come and fight him. Or doing whatever he can to inflame the situation and win the ethnic vote.Because if he was in Canada, he'd be lying on the canvas after being pounded by the Supreme Court.Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Con War on the Economy
Well he's off to Ukraine today to try to pose as Great Warrior Leader by inflaming a dangerous crisis for crass political gain. Which is scary enough.But there's another scary story doing the rounds in Ottawa. And that's the one about how Stephen Harper wanted to replace Jimbo Flaherty as Finance Minister
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Harper Cult and the War on the Media
It looked like a mob meeting, with big black cars and burly bodyguards to keep reporters away.Or as Tom Mulcair called it, the gathering of some secretive cult. But it was only Oily Joe Oliver's hush hush swearing in ceremony. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Pierre Poilievre’s Incredibly Horrible and Embarrassing Week
Oh dear. I can't help feeling that Pierre Poilievre is starting to regret that Big Daddy made him the Minister of Democratic Reform.And is probably wishing he could have another job PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE !!!!!!Because first the Chief Electoral Officer shredded his arguments in an appearance before a House committee.Then
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Sad and Dismal Legacy of Little Jimbo Flaherty
Well I see that little Jimbo Flaherty has fallen off his mole hill for the very last time.Or left Stephen's Harper's murky pond. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty has resigned. He is the biggest fish to swim out of Prime Minister Harper's pond since then-Environment Minister, and de facto second in command
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Con Day of Infamy
It couldn't have been a more welcome sight. The last Canadian soldiers returning from Afghanistan. If I had been watching them coming in to land, I would have been waving my arms in the air, and shouting "Glory Hallelujah, we are free at last." And this couldn't have been a happier sight. There
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Great Illusion
Well he must be feeling pretty good these days. It must be his happy hour.Parliament is shutdown so he doesn't have to answer any questions about any of his many scandals.Or his foul voter suppression bill.Instead he can pose as a champion of democracy in Ukraine, harvest the ethnic vote,
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Foul Assault on the Future of our Democracy
One of the most despicable things about Stephen Harper's foul voter suppression bill, is the way it would prevent the Chief Electoral Officer from educating young Canadians about our democracy. And encouraging them to vote. So am glad to see that the NDP is defending Elections Canada's youth outreach programs.

OMG. What a disgusting spectacle. He's at it again. He just can't control himself. The hate is bubbling out of him like slime out of the glands of a poisonous toad.He's fired off a bunch of new attack ads at Justin Trudeau.But this time he doesn't want us to see them. Read more
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Real Reason the Cons Want to Muzzle Elections Canada
) They are only 25 second ads designed to encourage young Canadians to vote in 2008.But they are the reason the Cons are trying to muzzle the Chief Electoral Officer.Not because the ads didn't work, as they claim. But because they offended Big Oil. Read more »
