The Video: The fall of Justin Trudeau

Filed Under: The Video Tagged With: Canada, Justin Trudeau

Sunny day

11/06/2015 by the editor

By Montreal Simon It couldn’t have been more of a fairy tale beginning. Prince Justin, his princess Sophie, and the Liberal cabinet marching up the driveway to Rideau Hall to be sworn in, after having toppled the tyrant. And yes what a difference a day makes … One moment we were living in his grim Harperland, […]

The Post’s selective MEMRI

11/02/2015 by the editor

By Alison@Creekside National Post, flagship of the largest media conglomerate in Canadian history run by a foreign hedge fund, inhales a MEMRI “report” based on the online musings of four anonymous “known” jihadi dudes titled: “Pro-ISIS Activists React Joyously On Twitter To Canada’s Elections” Then they give it the fabulous new Trudeau-torqued headline you see at left. […]

Harper and the spawn of the Great Satan

10/12/2015 by the editor

By Montreal Simon Oh dear. I see that Stephen Harper had to take the day off on Saturday. No doubt to try to recover from the brutal effects of the long campaign he inflicted upon himself. And get a full spa treatment. Because let’s face it he needs one … Every day he looks more bagged […]

Harper’s flying monkeys (and the man behind the curtain)

10/01/2015 by the editor

By Montreal Simon I must admit it is getting a bit grim out there. Fall has finally arrived, it’s getting colder and darker, the skies over this ghastly Harperland are filled with flying monkeys. Stephen Harper is a frenzy urging them on to destroy his enemies, with his poisonous wedge issues. And of course this is […]

ISIS rampages, artists fuss

08/29/2015 by the editor

By Jim Henshaw It wasn’t the first time somebody has died on stage. Two of recent theatre’s great comedians, Dick Shawn (The Producers) and Sid James (pick any Carry On . . . movie) both did final pratfalls that convulsed their audiences –- until the realization dawned that they were never getting up again. Genesius, the […]

Trudeau stands up

03/10/2015 by the editor

By Montreal Simon The other day I wrote a post where I asked, or begged our progressive leaders to elevate their game. To go big or go home. And make the struggle to defeat the Harper Cons a larger struggle to save Canada and its values. And I have to say that last night in […]

Because the Mounties said so

10/29/2014 by the editor

By Frank Moher Does Justin Trudeau have a little meter in his pocket that tells him which way to tack on issues of the day? Does he pull it out and the needle tells him “Slightly Left” or “Slightly Right”? Of course he does. It was passed down to him by the previous leader of […]

Parliament shooting: What the leaders said

10/23/2014 by the editor

Stephen Harper: “My fellow Canadians: for the second time this week, there has been a brutal and violent attack on our soil. Today our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. Cpl. Cirillo was killed today — murdered in cold blood — as he provided […]
