OMG. Mothers hide your children. It appears that Stephen Harper has set out to try to woo Quebec. Stephen Harper and more than a dozen of his cabinet ministers chose Quebec to kick off the Tories’ political “summer of love,” wooing support with their economic plan and a pledge to

Montreal Simon: Mulcair and the Orange Juggernaut
I knew that the NDP's support in Quebec would improve as soon a Tom Mulcair became leader. Nobody hates the Con regime more than Quebecers do. And they know a fighter when they see one. But this is still stunning. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Tom Mulcair and the Tarry Bubbly
Whew. I see Tom Mulcair managed to gallop into Alberta today, cast his eyes upon the darkness of the Oil Sands, and make his getaway without dropping the dreaded T word. In his first-ever visit to the Alberta oilsands as NDP leader, Mulcair was about to substitute “tar” for
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Triumph of Thomas Mulcair
The Cons and their stooges in the right-wing media have gone after him like a pack of rabid hyenas. They have attacked the man, claiming he was too angry and divisive to be a leader. They have mocked him for pointing out the dangers of the Dutch Disease, that is
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The McCarthyite Cons and the Dutch Disease
OK. So I was wrong. When Christy Clark became the latest Con stooge to denounce Thomas Mulcair, for simply pointing out that the Dutch Disease is killing our manufacturing sector, I said it could only mean one thing. Big Oil and its Con puppets were scraping the bottom of the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and his RoboCon Monsters
I always wondered whether Stephen Harper would be brought down by the monsters he created. And in that regard I must say I'm extremely encouraged. The digital trail left by the suspect behind misleading robocalls to Guelph voters on election day 2011 has sharply narrowed, with Internet records linking the mysterious
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Moral Abyss
Holy horses’s head. Let’s put it this way eh? It wasn’t exactly the Con mob’s finest hour. First they were fingered by the Auditor General for diddling the truth. So that’s it then: They knew and they lied. To Parliament. To all of us…if the AG is to be believed —
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Thomas Mulcair and the Struggle for Canada
(Click pic to enlarge) Oh boy. What a difference a week makes. It seems like just yesterday when I was waiting for the fog to lift, and wondering who will save us from Stephen Harper’s ghastly regime? Because I really don’t want to live in a country like this one.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Cons and the Big Oil Budget
Hoily oily. I can’t even do my own taxes eh? But it only took me about five minutes to figure out Jim “Jimbo” Flaherty’s ghastly budget. And all I can say is that Jimbo and his fellow Con man Stephen “Greasy” Harper should be arrested for fraud. For trying to
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Failed Assault on Thomas Mulcair
Well I see that even before Thomas Mulcair rose in the Commons today, the Cons sent out one of their attack chihuahas to try to “define him.” Or in their mob lingo, bite his balls knees ankles. “This hug-a-thug, soft-on-crime leader will return Canada to policies favoring the rights of
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Thomas Mulcair and the Road to Victory
It was the result I was hoping for, the only real choice the NDP could have made. For Thomas Mulcair is the only leader that can win back support in Quebec from the Bloc, without which everything else would be in vain. He is the only one who can make
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The NDP and the Nightmare in Harperland
I was thinking the other day, as a thick fog hid Toronto from view. That ever since I arrived in this city, it’s like a curse has been hanging over me. The Nightmare in Harperland.The G20 police state in my backyard, the death of Jack Layton, the crushed dreams of
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The NDP and the Arrival of Spring
What with the fog hanging over the island, and the usual run of depressing stories, it hasn’t been too easy to write about politics in Harperland this week. Or even celebrate the arrival of Spring. But isn’t it great to see the Con fluffer John Ibbitson begin his day with
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Cons: The Horror and the Desperation
Well I see the politicians may be on a spring break, but the sinister Con War Room, like death, or Great Ugly Leader. Never takes a holiday… Golly. I have to admit when I first saw that attack ad it struck fear into my heart. I was afraid I might
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The RoboCon Scandal: Who is Rick McKnight ?
Golly Sherlock. This RoboCon story just keeps getting more and more mysterious. First it was who and where is Pierre Poutine? Then it was who gave him the password to the Con data bank, and who paid his bills? And now it’s who and where is Rick McKnight? RackNine, the Edmonton
Continue readingMontreal Simon: RoboCon Scandal: The Cover Up Starts to Unravel
Oh. My. Gravy. I don’t know if the Chief Electoral Officer likes poutine. But it’s good to know that even if he doesn’t, he’s got a heap of complaints to munch on. “Immediately following the 2011 general election, the Commissioner of Canada Elections deployed resources to investigate complaints of fraudulent
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Blogging in the Darkness of Harperland
On a grey, wet, day in Harperland it wasn’t too hard to imagine myself in the last scene of The Planet of the Apes. Or imagine myself giving up blogging. For it was the worst of days. First there was this devastating blow Which means we might never know who
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Robo-Call Cons: When the Stupidity Burns
Holy Bossa Nostra. I didn’t think that Dean Del Mastro could be more of a Con buffoon than he already was. But I guess I should have known better. Dean Del Mastro, the parliamentary secretary to the Prime Minister, stood repeatedly in House of Commons Monday to answer questions from
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Hercule Poirot and the RoboCop Investigation
Mon Dieu. I see that Jeffrey Simpson wishes that Hercule Poirot was handling The Case of the RoboCon Calls and the Stolen Election. Where’s Hercule Poirot when we need him? The victims – defeated opposition party candidates – are known. The weapons – computerized telephone calls designed to infuriate voters
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The RoboCon Scandal: Now Can We Call Them Klowns?
Well I can only imagine the scene in the Con War Room tonight. The hum of shredders, the mumbled prayers, the muffled screams. The sight of Vic Toews dressed in a bloody butcher’s apron. As the hunt continues for those accused of the ultimate Con crime. No, not stealing an
