I got a chance to watch most of Power and Politics yesterday, and although I was reasonably impressed by its new host Vassy Kapelos, the editorial direction of the program itself was an absolute disaster. As usual.Yet another example of either total incompetence and/or naked bias.And one more example of why

Montreal Simon: Why Does The Con Media Hate Justin Trudeau So Much?
Well it's now been two days since the Con media went after Justin Trudeau for allegedly sabotaging a trade deal by missing a meeting. In what can only be described as a pig wrestling contest. Which as you know ended badly, with our porky media looking like idiots. Since they
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Why is the CBC Trying to Destroy the Trudeau Government?
I wonder how many Canadians can remember what Stephen Harper was planning to do to the CBC if he had been re-elected.Because although it would have been bloody, the CBC clearly doesn't.For how else can one explain the fact that along with Postmedia, it has been leading the Con media's
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Ghastly Record and Imaginary Trial of Stephen Harper
I was thinking today about Mike Duffy's trial, which is now only nine days away, and how it may last at least two months, because of all the evidence the Crown has collected.And all the PMO witnesses they are going to have to grill.And it gave me a really warm feeling.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: One More Reason the CBC’s Managers Must Be Fired
Last night I wrote about the CBC and said that if it was in trouble people should blame the Harper regime and its managers, not its workers. For it was its useless managers who created the celebrity culture that allowed "stars" like Jian Ghomeshi to bully those who worked for
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Depraved Plan to Destroy the CBC
He has always hated the CBC. He hates what it represents, the Canada he despises. Our Canada.You can see it when he takes questions from CBC reporters. The insane hatred in his cold dead eyes, the way he purses his thin cruel lips, or licks them. The barely repressed violence
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Ghomeshi Scandal and the CBC Management Cult
About ten days ago I wrote a post about the CBC and the Ghomeshi scandal, and I blamed its hapless managers for creating a cult of celebrity where such a horrible thing could happen.Then came this shabby incident. Which not only reinforced my belief that CBC management treats its "stars" like gods.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Shelly Glover and the New Con Assault on the CBC
I have to admit that when I heard that the Con Heritage Minister Shelly Glover was warning the CBC to boost its ratings, or ELSE, I thought of her former profession.And of what some bloated foreign fascist, who may or may not have been Hermann Goring once said:"When I hear
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Day Thousands Took to the Streets to Defend the CBC
It was a stirring sight. And for the beleaguered CBC it couldn't have come at a better time, or be more welcome.Thousands of people marching in streets of Montreal and other places, to demand that the Harper regime stop killing the corporation.CBC/Radio-Canada supporters gathered in Montreal, Matane, Sept-Îles, Quebec City,
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Harper Cons: Still Killing the CBC and Still Lying About It.
About two months ago, I told you how Stephen Harper was killing the CBC, Chopping it into pieces, frying it in its own blood, and washing it down with a glass of Chianti.While instructing Con MPs like Joyce Bateman to deny it."We are not making cuts to the CBC… They have
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Con Mob and the Criminal Assault on the CBC
He's slashing the CBC, like only a Con, or a Jack the Ripper could. He's draining its life blood, chopping it into pieces, and cooking it in his hellish kitchen.The evidence couldn't be clearer. But that's not what the PMO wants you to believe.And this is the Con mob…Read more »

I don't know how many Canadians realize how badly Stephen Harper has wounded the CBC.But from what I hear from a friend who works there, and who expects to be among the 2,000 employees who will soon lose their jobs, the wounds are practically mortal.And the Cons could be gnawing on
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Destruction of the CBC
Gawd. I can only imagine Stephen Harper's state of mind. I bet he's so alarmingly aroused that they've had to bring in Jason Kenney with a bucket of ice water to sponge him down.Or have John Baird fan him furiously. Because yesterday he gave the order to begin dismantling medicare. Today he celebrated
