It's like a nightmare version of Richard III. Or the last act of the Con regime.Stephen Harper limping across the stage of his corrupt and decaying government screaming like a madman:My Kingdom for a pipeline !!!!!Or my Kingdom for a foreign worker !!@#!!Because if you thought the Royal Bank was the

Montreal Simon: The Royal Bank and the Foreign Cons
By now you've probably heard about this outrageous story. Dozens of employees at Canada’s largest bank are losing their jobs to temporary foreign workers, who are in Canada to take over the work of their department.But while the Royal Bank richly deserves what's coming to it, so do the Harper Cons.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Twilight of the Harper Regime
For seven long and dark years Stephen Harper was able to hold this country in his iron grip.For years him and his Cons were able to fool Canadians into thinking they knew what they were doing.For years he was able to make the stooge media dance to his tinny tunes.But now it's all going horribly wrong. Read more
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Michael Sona and the RoboCon Scandal
Well, it's been a long time coming.And I have to admit I had almost given up hope that anybody would ever be charged in connection with the RoboCon Scandal.But finally somebody has picked up the ringing phone and answered my prayers. After 21 months of investigation, Elections Canada has charged a former Conservative campaign
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Rebranding of Canada
As you know the Con regime is obsessed with changing or rebranding the name and the look of everything Canadian eh?Making the colours of Canada blue and red, like the Con logo, instead of red and white like our flag.Or solemnly declaring honking that henceforth the Government of Canada should be known
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Jimbo Flaherty’s Incredible Shrinking Budget
Well, let's start with the good news eh? Jimbo Flaherty got a fabulous new hat to go with his new shoes when he presented his latest budget today.Or as the Cons call it, his Porky Action Plan 2013.And the bad news?The hat was bigger than the budget. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Jimbo Flaherty and the Porky Action Monster
Well as you know today was St Patrick's Day, and no doubt wee little Jimbo Flaherty was running around looking for the pot of gold.The one he lost when he cut the GST.And probably wishing he didn't have to call his new budget Porky Action Plan 2013.Because it's hard to
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Fatal Trajectory of the Harper Cons
The other day I wrote about how Stephen Harper's slide in the polls was beginning to resemble a one-way ride on an asteroid.Not just a mere tumble through space, but a clear and definite negative trend.And I pointed out that this blazing trajectory couldn't come at a worst time for the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Could Stephen Harper Be About to Retire?
Golly. I have to admit that when I first saw the story I had to stick a fork into myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming.Because this is definitely one of my favourite dreams eh? Stephen Harper bitterly bidding farewell to his ungrateful people. While they dance in the streets.But then
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Slow Erosion of the Harper Regime
I told you he was looking a little worried, or a little desperate.I told you he's been acting funny, or even crazier than usual.And now we know why.It seems that Canadians are finally getting tired of Stephen Harper.And his support is slowly crumbling.Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Carbon Trap
It's been the weirdest winter ever where I live.It was so warm for so long it took forever for the canal to freeze, until it was safe enough to skate on.Then it thawed so quickly, the net got stranded in the middle of nowhere, with the ice too thin to
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Jimbo Flaherty and the Day of Reckoning
If you wanted to know where our economy is heading, or what the Cons are planning to do to Canada.All you had to do was look at Jimbo Flaherty today, to know it's not going to be pretty.And that the Day of Reckoning has finally arrived.For there he was standing
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Strangelove Flanagan and the Con Regime
As you may know, I have for many years portrayed Tom Flanagan as Dr Strangelove.I've always considered him a bizarre right-wing crank, and Alberta firewall separatist.I never understood why the CBC hired him, and then didn't fire him after he said Julian Assange should be murdered.So I'm not really surprised
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Slow Destruction of the Harper Regime
It's like a danse macabre. It's hard to know how much more he can take before he implodes.Or does something crazy. Because it's all going horribly wrong. The opposition has him in their sights.And in all the years I've been watching him, I've never seen Stephen Harper looking so defeated and
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Could the Cons Really Rule Forever?
When I think of a fascist nightmare I usually think of Orwell, and Big Brother, and this famous line: If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever.But now I've got another nightmare to worry about eh? The thought of the Con regime
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Big Shock
In the nightmarish world of Harperland it was just another bizarre photo-op. Stephen Harper in a hockey arena, standing in front of yet another group of human props. And behind yet another absurd sign. Selling himself, and peddling defibrillators. But I thought this one was particularly symbolic eh? Because nobody needs a
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Humiliating Collapse of The Porky Action Plan
Uh oh. The alarms are honking away at Porky Action Headquarters. The Con hogs are still strutting around on their hind legs promoting their fraudulent porky plan.But the reviews are coming in, and the stench of panic is is the air.Because they are DEVASTATING.Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Apocalyptic Destruction of The Harper Cons
Damn. As much as I hate doing it, I'm going to have to give Boss Harper some credit eh?The final collapse of his Con regime is turning out to be a heavenly show. And far more wonderfully apocalyptic than even I had hoped.For if on Wednesday it was Wallin, flying
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Senate Nightmare
Gosh. When I watched Question Period today I wasn't sure whether I should call the fire department or the bomb disposal team.For as you can see from this thermal image, Great Angry Leader was practically glowing in the dark, and threatening to blow up. And of course it was the Senate,
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Snowmageddon and the Con Apocalypse
Golly. I don't know how I did it. Survived the Great Toronto Snowmageddon.Because it was brutal eh?Toronto has not seen a snowfall exceeding 15 centimetres since Dec. 19, 2008, said Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips.Not the storm itself, which was only a Snowmageddon if you don't live in Alberta,
