Uh oh, don't look now, but it seems that the Great War on Christmas has begun.And not in the United States where Donald Trump has vowed to save Christmas from the liberals and their happy holidays. But in Britain, where a group of religious fanatics is threatening to boycott Tesco the large

Montreal Simon: How the Quebec Charter of Values Ruined My Perfect Day
It was a wonderfully warm sunny day in Toronto today. A great day off to relax and pretend that summer is still here.I went to the beach, I spotted my second Monarch butterfly of the season in some flowers near the Island Club House, and I got to pet the baby
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Jason Kenney and the Bieber Factor
As you know I've always considered Jason Kenney's singular contribution to Canadian politics a real freak show.I've had trouble taking that ghastly religious fanatic seriously since he said that gays were free to get married. As long as they married someone of the opposite sex.One moment he's accusing Thomas Mulcair
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Scary Religious Crisis
Holy Moly. It looks as if Stephen Harper is having a full blown religious crisis. The new polls have come down from the mountain, and they really suck. New polling numbers from EKOS show the Conservative party’s popularity has dropped ten points overall since the 2011 spring election.And to make

Uh oh. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. Stephen Harper has admitted he is getting his guidance from above.Asked about how faith influences his decisions, Harper said that he prays regularly to “ask for strength and for wisdom.”Which explains the state our country is in, and why the Con

Lordy. I must admit that I didn't think Mitt Romney's deep involvement with the Mormon Church should be an issue in the U.S. election campaign.For compared to all his other liabilities, and character defects, or his many crass sermons in the Temple of the One Percent, it seemed so trivial.And

When I heard that Pope Benny had described gay marriage as a threat to humanity at first I was shocked. “This is not a simple social convention, but rather the fundamental cell of every society. Consequently, policies which undermine the family threaten human dignity and the future of humanity itself,”

Well let’s see…in Iraq the Sunni are bombing the Shia. In Nigeria, the Muslims are bombing the Christians. In Israel, secular Jews are battling the ultra-Orthodox. And in the Church of the Nativity, where Jesus is said to have been born, the Christians are fighting the Christians. With brooms… Holy

OK. So I’m not a big fan of religion, and I’m not a big fan of the burqa or the niqab. But then as you know I’m not a big fan of Jason Kenney either. So I find his new war on the veil totally ridiculous. It seems unlikely that

Don’t you just love crazy religion? They are always attacking each other, claiming that only their god is the real one. Spewing gibberish and hate out of every orifice, or blowing up their rivals. But nothing can bring them together as quickly as a chance to attack gay kids. Christian,

OMG. Shake me like a rattle. Or call me a prophet eh? Because as soon as I saw this. I knew that the Christianist crazies would soon be howling at the moon, and proclaiming it to be a sign of God’s wrath for the sins of America. i.e.&nbs…

The blogger previously known as ALL-CAPS SUZANNE FORTIN (but who you cannot refer to by name now, lest she throw a twitter tantrum over it) has once again unwittingly illustrated the conservative tendency to reject reason and logic as relevant to morals.
