Sometimes I can't believe what the Cons have done to Canada. It's like a low budget horror movie eh?A movie like Zombie Nightmare with Bela Lugosi Vic Toews. Where the zombies go after your brains, and your e-mails.Or Der Con Blob, where a gelatinous mass of alien slime invades a

Or so says Jeffrey Simpson.The Northern Gateway pipeline that Enbridge proposes to build from Alberta’s bitumen oil to the Pacific coast of British Columbia is, for all intents and purposes, dead.

Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Slow Degradation of Stephen Harper
I think this cartoon by the Star's Theo Moudakis neatly sums up what Stephen Harper's Con regime is doing to our image abroad. Making us look small, cheap, shabby. And like Britain's royal loyal corgis. For the Cons can try to downplay the embassy move, call it no big

Well the Olympic Games are finally over, and I must say I enjoyed the show, from the stunning beginning to the wild and wonderful end. I thought the Brits did an amazing job, I was proud of all our athletes, whether they won a medal or not. And the only

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: Stephen Harper’s Most Horrible Day
Golly. Talk about a study in contrasts. There was Tom Mulcair flashing a winner's smile. While in the other corner, there was Stephen Harper looking absolutely AWFUL. As if he'd just seen the grim ghost of his political future. Or somebody had just asked him whether he REALLY likes handcuffs.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Julian Fantino and the Mediocrity of the Cons
I will never forget the look on Julian Fantino's face, the day he first took the loyalty oath to Stephen Harper, and became a Con cabinet minister. He looked stunned, as if he still couldn't believe it. The Great Fantino, the Crime Busting Crusader, the copo de tutti, had

Oh no. I see Bev Oda has taken her last long limo ride. The kind of ride the Con mob gives you when you become a liability. First comes the horse's head, then the scenic limo ride, in the middle of the night. And then da cement shoes. Bev Oda, the
