If you read this blog with any regularity, you probably know that I hold the crazed right in abject contempt. Their eagerness to embrace conspiracies, their elevation of ‘Queen’ Romana Didulo to other worldly status speaks to both the weakness of their minds and their extreme credulity. As well, the

Politics and its Discontents: The Time Is Out Of Joint
I spend a fair bit of time in this blog discussing my aversion to the United States. Widely populated by benighted souls, it is a country I now shun and have no intention of ever again visiting. However, my smug convictions about the superiority of Canadians relative to our
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Will The MacKay O’Toole War Damage The Con Brand?
The Con leadership race was always going to be a sleazy affair. With two old Harperite hacks, and two social conservatives vying to be leader what else could it be?Especially since the two Harperites have been shamefully pandering to the two religious fanatics who will almost certainly determine the winner.But
Continue readingMontreal Simon: How Justin Trudeau Is Uniting Our Country
In my last post I looked at how the Con media was still trying to find any reason to attack Justin Trudeau.Even when he said nothing, and even though they risk undermining the war against Covid-19, with their idiot questions about Donald Trump.But luckily most Canadians understand that, and they
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer’s Most Miserable Birthday Ever
It was Andrew Scheer's birthday the other day, but as you can imagine the celebrations were somewhat muted.None of his Cons felt much like celebrating, not when so many of his Cons are afraid that thanks to Scheer they are going to lose their seats in the next election. And of
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Fake Aladdin Scandal: The Con Media Bites The Dust
For a few days you couldn't read a newspaper, or watch a TV news program without seeing this picture of Justin Trudeau dressed up as Aladdin.As one member of the Con media after the other tried to smear Trudeau as a racist. And some like the Con hack David Akin
Continue readingMontreal Simon: My Excellent Summer and the Horror of the Cons
It's been an amazing summer so far in the place where I live. And now that I'm on holiday I've been trying to enjoy every minute.The blue sky days, the warm breezes, the childhood memories of the days I learned to sail in a far off land.The lazy afternoons at the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: How The Economy Is Giving The Trudeau Liberals A Big Boost
For more than two years Andrew Scheer has been screeching and wailing about how the Canadian economy is an absolute disaster.And of course accusing Justin Trudeau of "failing" about ten times a day.But he won't be able to do that any longer without looking even more like a Con clown or a
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer and the Curse of Doug Ford
I see Andrew Scheer has been playing cowboy, and flipping pancakes at the Calgary Stampede.And although I'm sure Scheer was happy to be half a continent away from Doug Ford and the stench of Con corruption, he must also be hurting inside, and increasingly desperate.Just a few weeks ago it
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Do The Liberals Have The Wind In Their Sails Again?
If any of you have been wondering why I haven't been blogging as often as I usually do, well wonder no longer.For as you can see it is the sailing season, and after a long winter of fake scandals, Doug Ford, and bleak polls suggesting that Andrew Scheer could win
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer’s Bigot Problem and the Green Wave That Isn’t
In normal times, in a different Canada, a story about Andrew Scheer's monster bigot problem would be enough to end his political career.For his bigotry couldn't be more disgusting, or more damaging.Especially at a time when he has finally decided to tell us who is the real Scheer.Which should be
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer and the Con’s Heart of Darkness
I knew that some dark invisible force had recently given Andrew Scheer a big boost in the polls, and I thought I knew what it was.A primeval panic and new eruption of toxic Trudeau hate, caused by Scheer's false claim that Trudeau was about to erase our borders, by signing the U.N.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer and the Enemy of the People
Ever since he became leader of the Cons, Andrew Scheer has called Justin Trudeau all kinds of ugly names.Criminal gang member supporter, coward, terrorist sympathizer, you name it.But now, believe it or not, Scheer aka Schmear, has outdone himself.And come up with an even uglier name to call Trudeau.Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Abacus Poll and the Incredible Shrinking Cons
Andrew Scheer was absent from Question Period yesterday, and nobody seemed to know where he was.But I wouldn't be surprised if he was huddled with his ex-Rebel campaign manager Hamish Marshall trying to figure out what's going wrong.Because so much is going wrong.A series of devastating polls, have suggested the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Trans Mountain Pipeline and the Great Distraction
I haven't written much about pipelines because quite frankly I got pipelined out during the Harper years.And also because I have always considered the fuss over the Trans Mountain pipeline to be just a distraction from the real war on climate change.But now that a court has halted that project.I
Continue readingMontreal Simon: How Much Damage Can Maxime Bernier Do The Cons?
When Maxime Bernier decided to break away from Andrew Scheer and his "intellectually and morally corrupt" Cons.And in the process made Scheer look like a cowardly leader. Or no leader at all.The big question was how much damage could Bernier do to his former party?Now a first poll is in, and Scheer must
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Why Andrew Scheer and his Cons are Such Racists
I couldn't understand it. It seemed to make no sense to me. Why in the sweltering summer of the hate crime, were Andrew Scheer and his Cons fanning the flames of racism?Why were they playing politics with the border issue, at a time when police all over the country were
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Is the Con Media Winning The War on Justin Trudeau?
I wasn't sure I had enough material to write even a short post about day three of Andrew Scheer's Great Con Clown Tour of London.And his desperate attempt to land a big league photo-op, with someone famous, or just important.Only to fail, again and again.But Scheer does have something to celebrate
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Real Reason For Andrew Scheer’s Weird Ad
I knew the Cons were worried. I didn't believe them when they said that weird ad, half Forrest Gump and half serial killer, was to introduce Andrew Scheer to Canadians.When he has been around for thirteen years, and the Con media has given him all the page time or air time he
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The CBC’s War On The Liberals (Continued)
Yesterday I wrote a post about the CBC's frenzied attempts to try to bring down the Trudeau government, and make the sinister religious fanatic Andrew Scheer Prime Minister.And how in pursuit of that goal it seems to have sacrificed its principles and its sanity. And I was pleasantly surprised to see how
