In all the nightmare years of Harperland, it was one of the foulest bills the Con regime ever rammed through parliament.Pierre Poilievre's Orwellian named Fair Elections Act, which he claimed would strengthen democracy. But was in fact a blatant attempt to strangle it by suppressing the vote.So I'm glad to see that

Montreal Simon: The Excellent Humiliation of the Con Clown Pierre Poilievre
Once upon a time Pierre Poilievre was one of the loudest and craziest members of the Con regime. A political thug if ever there was one.But we haven't heard a peep out of him since he won his fifth term by less than 2,000 votes.However today the Co…

After four years and 24 days of being slowly strangled by Stephen Harper, the 41st Parliament has finally groaned its last, and given up the ghost.And although that bestial leader must have enjoyed savaging the traditions and values of the country he hates with a passion only he can muster.He
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and Pierre Poilievre’s Day of Disgrace
You should have seen Stephen Harper this evening in the House of Commons, beaming like a proud father, and clapping wildly, as his Reform boy Pierre Poilievre stood up to vote.On his Day of Disgrace.And his equally excited Con sheep bleated their approval of the so-called Fair Elections Act.On their Day of
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Foul Assault on Beverley McLachlin
I knew he would go after the Supreme Court, now that he is so bitter and crazy desperate.I knew that he would not be able to contain his anger, after losing five SCOC decisions in a row.And that his rage would explode out of every orifice like vomit or diarrhoea.But who
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Emperor Harper and the Fatal Blindness of the Media
In more than eight years of blogging against the atrocities of the Con regime, nothing has bothered me more than the way the MSM has heaped slavish praise on its deranged leader.For while I have always seen Stephen Harper as a monster, who has broken every rule of decency in
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Incredible Humiliation of Stephen Harper and Pierre Poilievre
Golly. I don't know who looked more more beaten or more pathetic today, Stephen Harper or Pierre Poilievre. It was too close to call.But what is certain is that both were humiliated beyond belief.Harper slapped in the face by the Supreme Court, and sent crashing to the canvas. Stephen Harper
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Harperland, the Con Monsters, and the Death of Reason
Once upon a time Canada seemed like a brighter, better place to me than it does today.A more hopeful, more optimistic, more decent country.A country where an opposition MP could write a polite letter to a Minister like this one. (PDF)And expect to get a reasonable reply.But this is Harperland, and this is Pierre Poilievre…Read
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Pierre Poilievre and the Great Turkey Senate Scam
Oh. My. Gobble. I see that Pierre Poilievre is still trying to pretend that his foul Unfair Elections Act is perfect.But that if the Cons in the House of Turkeys want to make it even better, he might welcome their recommendations."I'm prepared to defend every single measure in the Fair Elections
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Linda Frum, the Unfair Elections Act, and the Senate Farce
When I saw Linda Frum had caused a flap on Twitter by trying to defend the indefensible Unfair Elections Act, all kind of thoughts flew into my mind.How could somebody so dumb be a Senator? Can I be one?And lucky for her she only made a fool out of herself
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Unfair Elections Act and the Republican Connection
He has always been more of an American style politician than a Canadian one.The closest thing to Richard Nixon and his dirty trick Republicans this country has ever seen.He brought their disgusting attack ads to Canada.And his foul Unfair Elections Act is right out of the Republican playbook.Read more »

I never can decide which famous story Harperland reminds me of the most.The Emperor's New Clothes or Lord of the Flies.Or answer the questions historians will ask.Did he really think he could get away with it? Why were so many so silent for so long? Or failed to understand the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Are We Losing the Battle to Kill the Unfair Elections Act?
I thought we were making good progress in our struggle to try to force the Cons to change or kill their foul so-called Fair Elections Act.But it turns out I may have been a bit too optimistic. For while we have made progress, it seems far too many Canadians are still
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Con Senator and the Brad Butt Challenge
Golly. I must admit I didn't think ANYBODY could beat out Brad Butt for the title of Con Klown of the Year.Because when he told the Commons he had "personally witnessed" massive voter fraud. Only to admit he hadn't. He'd only heard about it. Years ago.I didn't think it was
Continue readingScott's DiaTribes: Conservative logic: Promoting high turnout/ensuring fair election is a conflict?
That’s what Conservative Senator Linda Frum seems to think: (for lack of a better term). Some twitter tweets give her position quite clearly: “Elections Canada role is to administer fair elections. Not to motivate. Not to induce. More integrity when mission is clear cut.” and this, as a reply to

If you want to know what Stephen Harper and his ghastly Cons have done to our Parliament all you had to do is watch Question Period today.For I've rarely seen a more rowdy session. The Cons were howling like jackals, or drunks.So I'm not surprised that a Con Minister has

Well nobody can deny that they were made for each other. Or made of each other.With Stephen Harper usually being the mouth, and Pierre Poilievre the other end.For there was Harper's ghastly little baby today defecating all over the Chief Electoral Officer. Read more »

OMG. Can you believe that shameless Jason Kenney? First him and his Cons brought in a flood of foreign workers.Then he claimed there was a skill shortage and there wasn't.Then it was revealed that he has been pimping for a McDonald's franchise.And now he's trying to get some political mileage
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Why Pierre Poilievre’s Election Bill Could Help Kill the Cons
He's the most Republican looking MP I've ever seen.A ghastly little fanatic who could just have easily have been suckled by Karl Rove as he was suckled by Stephen Harper.And of course his foul voter suppression bill is straight out of the Republican play book, or the anus of Amerika.But what

Well I think I can now OFFICIALLY declare that Spring has arrived in Simonville, the small humble corner of Canada where it's never Harperland.And I must admit that all I feel like doing is climbing on to the old boathouse roof, stretching out my arms like Jesus, giving thanks to
