In the last few days I’ve been urging Canadians to start showing their opposition to Stephen Harper and his Cons, by taking to the streets, like people in other western democracies do when confronting other right-wing regimes. Instead of just sitting on their asses, and whining and wailing, or pounding their

Montreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Hockey Doctrine
As we all know Great Nerd Leader likes to pose as a hockey fan, a hockey book writer, and a road hockey warrior. And wherever he goes a shiny set of goal posts seem to follow him. Like here on the tarmac of some airport, where his former flunky Dimitri
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Monstrous Depravity of the Harper Cons
Like the decaying painting of Dorian Gray he stares out at us, with all his moral ugliness and sheer depravity revealed for all to see. We already knew that he heads the most sinister and evil government in Canadian history. But just when you think his grotesque Cons can go
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Jason Kenney and the Fox News North Gang
Sometimes you have to focus on the big picture. Sometimes you have to see the forest for the trees. Or just smell the manure. But here are the facts as I see them: (1) Jason Kenney, a grotesque member of the sinister Harper gang commands civil servants to organize an
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Senator, the Rope, and the Bestiality of the Cons
He has violated our Canadian values from the very moment he came to office. He is turning us into a crazed prison state. He says he doesn’t want to re-open the death penalty debate. But he WOULD like to hang some Canadians. Because he is a vengeful nerd. And he
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Cons and the Ponzi Pension Plan
I used to roar with laughter when Peter Van Loan got so agitated during Question Period, he’d regularly spill his glass of water all over Stephen Harper, and would be seen frantically hovering over Great Ugly Leader, dabbing his crotch with a paper towel. Having finally found his station in
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Real Reason the Cons are Scaring Seniors
On a work day that was already quite stressful, I also had to spend quite a bit of time reassuring some poor seniors, that the Cons were not about to take away their Old Age Assistance. So when I read that Stephen Harper’s grotesque water boy Peter Van Loan was
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Scottish Independence and My Lost Canada
When I was a small boy I used to lie on these dunes near my small Scottish town, stare up at the sky, dream about a place called Canada. And wonder whether there would be bears in Montreal. These days I find myself thinking a lot about Scotland, and what
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Hour of Darkness
Well he said he wanted to change Canada beyond recognition, so I suppose nobody should be surprised. Except he said that long ago, and during the last election campaign he posed as a moderate, so this is outrageous. How dare that twisted little man interpret his mini-majority as a mandate
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Horrible Day at Davos
It was without a doubt the most grotesque spectacle the Davos Cozy Capitalist Club had ever seen. As they sat there in their silk leather pajamas watching Stephen Harper pose as an economist. Bragging about the stability of our banking system, while forgetting to tell them that if it had
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Enemies of the State
He has always been a bully. They say it gives him pleasure to see fear in the eyes of others. He has always treated his opponents like enemies to be destroyed. Now as he turns this country into a sinister prison state, anyone who opposes him is an Enemy of
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Office of Selective Bigotry
Praise the Dark Lord. I see that Stephen Harper has a shiny new present for his religious base. Early in 2012, the Tories will finally flesh out a campaign promise to install the Office of Religious Freedom within the secular confines of the Department of Foreign Affairs – a controversial
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Horror of 2011 and the Hope of 2012
(Click pic to enlarge) I can’t remember a more gloomy New Year’s eve, grey, strangely warm, and eerily ominous. Last year, on the final day of 2010, I wrote this: It was the worst of years. The year when the crazed tyrant Stephen Harper ripped a giant hole in the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the War on the Unemployed
You don’t have to be a weatherman, or an economist, to know that a cold wind is blowing in Harperland, and that a recession could be just around the corner. So what are the Cons doing? Answer: Planning to cut corporate taxes even more, and taxing our paycheques. Canadians will
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Scary Christmas Message
Oh boy. It was such a lovely evening. The setting sun glowed golden. And for the first time this winter it was cold enough to imagine it was almost Christmas in Canada. But sadly that golden glow didn’t last long. For when I went home and put on the TV,
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Occupy Canada and the Great Darkness: My Video
I visited St James Park the other day, about a month after the Occupy Toronto campsite was torn down. And not even the Christmas lights on the old gazebo, could brighten up the bleakness. I much preferred it when it was full of gentle dreamers, talking about changing the world.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Con Canada and the Dirty Trick Gang
Golly Sherlock can you believe this? The polling company behind those phony calls in Irwin Cotler’s riding is feeling a little heat. A trade association that represents Canadian marketing and polling firms says it is looking into complaints about controversial phone calls into Liberal MP Irwin Cotler’s Montreal riding made
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and Our Broken Parliament
I see that Parliament has adjourned with the Cons gnashing their teeth flapping their wings over what Justin Trudeau said yesterday. “Bullshit!” he cried, his fury dramatically framed by flowing locks and sharply drawn facial hair. “You piece of shit!” he added in Mr. Kent’s general direction. But I thought
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Attawapiskat and Our New Canadian Flag
It’s going to be -21 degrees and feel like -30 in Attawapiskat today. Where some families are living in tents and plywood shacks like this one. So what is our hideous Con government doing, more than a month after that poor little community declared a state of emergency? Preparing to
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Great Silence
Sometimes it’s the small things that can tell you a lot about the country we are becoming under the sinister Harper regime. And how The Great Darkness is becoming The Great Silence. We know about the big things. How the Cons have paralyzed the civil service with fear. How they’re
