I haven't read or heard anything by Rex Murphy for so long, that I thought he was missing in action, or retired, or dead.But no, the crusty old oil pimp is still going, still ranting and raving over at the National Post.And he's just as ghastly as he ever was…Read

Montreal Simon: Has Rex Murphy Finally Left the CBC?
For years I have tried to avoid watching the CBC National on Thursdays so as to avoid the At Issue panel.For it was always a Con clown show under Big Daddy Mansbridge, and judging from what I've seen so far, will remain that way under the very Con-friendly Rosemary Barton.A
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Benjamin Perrin and the Murky Case of Jason Kenney
You may remember Benjamin Perrin, the PMO lawyer who worked for Stephen Harper at the height of the Duffy Affair.But who later turned against the Con regime declaring that it had lost the moral authority to govern.Well now he's taking aim at one of…
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Continuing Adventures of the Annoying Oil Pimp Brad Wall
Canada's premiers have made more progress in the last few months than they made in the almost ten years Stephen Harper ruled this country.And they do have good reason to celebrate.But there is always one party pooper, and it would have to be Brad …
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Is Pollution From The Oil Sands Killing People In Three Provinces?
It was thirty three degrees in Toronto today, and as usual when it gets that hot a smoggy haze covered the city.A blanket of pollution caused by the six million people who live in the Greater Toronto Area, and all their cars.But did you know that sam…
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Has Preston Manning Finally Lost His Marbles?
For years Preston Manning has been able to maintain a thin veneer of respectability. By posing as the slightly dotty elder statesman of the Reform rednecks of Alberta.But ever since his Harperite cult was defeated in the last election, that image has…
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper Joins the Oil Club
Well he's always been a member of the oil club. The grubby oil pimp who led this country to the verge of economic disaster.But now it's official. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Justin Trudeau, the Oil Pimp, and the Carbon Trap
Well it was a brave attempt. Get the Premiers together in one room to talk about climate change.But when the meeting was over there was little to celebrate. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the provincial premiers emerged from their meeting in Vancou…
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Little Killer
When most people think of climate change they probably think of images like this one.A scorched earth, starving people, and wars over water.But when I think of climate change I also think of this little killer.Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Rona Ambrose and the Con Pipeline Hysteria
By the way Rona Ambrose and the Con zombies have been clamouring for the Energy East pipeline to be built NOW, you might think that if it isn't we're all doomed.Even though that's nonsense. And considering the state of the planet one might…
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Oily Madness of the Con Queen Rona Ambrose
If Rona Ambrose doesn't stop viewing her job as interim Con Queen AND the new chief spokeswoman for Big Oil, sooner or later somebody is going to tell her she should go pump gas for them.Because every Question Period, no matter what's happenin…
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Rex Murphy: Who Needs An Environmental Review?
In my last post I argued that the CBC should fire the Con clown Rex Murphy, for promoting the Energy East pipeline.While being paid by Big Oil to give speeches glorifying their dubious achievements.And for attacking Justin Trudeau, and acting like Ron…
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Justin Trudeau and the Erasing of the Harper Legacy
As you know I really like this image of Justin slowly but surely demolishing Stephen Harper's foul legacy.And today he took another step in that direction. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his job is to look out for Canada's best interest…
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Now Will the CBC Finally Fire Rex Murphy?
It couldn't have been a more jarring contrast. While negotiators in Paris worked desperately to put the finishing touches on a historic climate change deal. And prepared to celebrate its successful conclusion.Back in Toronto, the Con clown and c…
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Brad Wall and the Attack of the Oil Pimps
As I told you yesterday, those of us who live in Central Canada are under attack by the wild eyed oil pimp Brad Wall.Who says if we don't accept his West-East pipeline, he'll cut off our equalization payments and leave us freezing in the dark.And although it's going to feel like

Oh great. Just what this broken bleeding country needs. Another Con oil pimp like Brad Wall, the Premier of Saskatchewan.Sweeping out of the West to declare war on Central Canada. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Day Stephen Harper Helped Destroy the Planet
I hate to admit it, but it seems I was tragically wrong. Stephen Harper did play a major role at the G7 summit after all.He took a reasonable proposal to fight climate change, before it changes the world beyond recognition.And helped turn it into a plan which will almost certainly torch
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Great Desperate War on Terror. Again
Nothing could tell us more about the dilapidated state of the Con regime, than Stephen Harper's absurd attempt yesterday to crank up the Great Terrorist Menace.For there he was at yet another staged photo-op, with his travelling "Protecting Canadians" sign, trying to make Canadians believe that our country is besieged by
Continue readingMontreal Simon: More Con Lies: Vancouver Oil Spill Worse Than Estimated
As I'm sure you know by now, I never believed what Cons like James Moore and Greg Rickford had to say about that oil spill in Vancouver's English Bay.Especially when they and the Harper Coast Guard said that only about 3,000 litres of toxic bunker had leaked out of that
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The BC Oil Spill and the Con Clown James Moore
It couldn't have been a more monstrous or absurd sight.A day after a ship leaked about 3,000 litres of bulk oil into Vancouver's beautiful English Bay, And a few hours after the province's premier and the city's mayor blasted the slow federal response.The monstrous Con beluga James Moore broke through the
