Montreal Simon: My Fabulous Canada Day Long Weekend
Well I must say my Canada 150 long weekend was about 150% better than I had hoped it would be.The music and the fireworks were amazing. Some friends from Montreal were staying with me, so I was able to party in both official languages.And for the first time I felt

The ghastly show is finally over. After a shabby twenty year run on Parliament Hill Jason Kenney has packed up his harp, and finally left the building.
But not before one last tawdry song.
Jason Kenney delivered a rousing and emotional farewell speech in the House of Commons on Thursday after nearly 20 years as a member of Parliament. He struck a non-partisan tone and urged his colleagues to embrace their role as legislators, not simply as foot soldiers of a political party, and to relish their time in the hallowed halls of Centre Block — “the temple of our democracy,” as he described it.
Which couldn’t have been more phony or absurd. Kenney the ultimate rabid partisan preaching non partisanship in the “temple of democracy” he desecrated over and over again.

I'm not quite sure what to think about this latest attack ad from the NDP. I suppose I should be grateful that somebody put out a video calling the Cons Lying Liars. I'm sure that somewhere out there, some people who get their news only from YouTube, must be saying "Who

I try to ignore him. I look away from his ghastly image. I close my ears every time he opens his monstrous pie hole. I try to delude myself into thinking that I can't possibly be living in Stephen Harper's Canada AND Rob Ford's Toronto at the same time. I

So I'm sitting on a bench down by the swan pond this evening, staring at the signs of The Apocalypse. Two little trees that have surrendered to the Canadian winter. Already. And I'm screaming at them, in my mind. How could you do this to me? How could you leave
