Terrible how isolated she is, and can't afford a phone (obviously, food and care for Penny comes first). During the ice storm that affected Montréal, Ottawa and surrounding areas, it seems we did more to support vulnerable people. I was volunteering in a shelter nearby. Toronto needed more than "warming centres"; it needed safe, warm temporary places where people could sleep and eat properly. And understanding that many of us would NEVER abandon our animal companions. <br /><br />I'm glad people are raising money for Kathleen and Penny, but they also need human contact. lagatta à montréalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610410709900333230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-24733721421856264652013-12-31T03:11:07.772-05:002013-12-31T03:11:07.772-05:00It is interesting that some one who appears rathe...It is interesting that some one who appears rather right wing comes to this blog. perhaps they have the hots for Simon. They can't be coming to read what he has to say. annoy. doesn't agree with Simon nor the rest of the readers. Let us all think of him as someone who is hurt and can't help themselves, then ignore him and send him to his room.<br /><br />Harper did miss a great opportunity during the snow/ill storms. You didn't see or hear from him. By not offering federal assistance to those areas which need it, the federal government saves money. Oh, well perhaps stevie has done us all a favour, in a round about way. he didn't take an opportunity to take a leadership position, offer the armed forces assistance, or act like a prime minister. Next snow storm, whomever is the P.M. try to remember that. e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-81022759771986421092013-12-30T22:15:31.532-05:002013-12-30T22:15:31.532-05:00hi anon...No you may NOT.

I mean as we know crazy is Harper's middle name, and there are no bigger liars than the Cons. However now that you've finished trying to insult me, would you care to disagree with anything I said in the post itself? No I didn't think so. For what could you say? Except I'm as crazy as Stephen Harper, and just as DESPERATE as he is.

What I meant was that now that they have been rendered vulnerable by the Senate scandal, we should take advantage of the situation to attack them for all the other bad things they have done. And of course show them no mercy...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-18415120418779031232013-12-30T17:22:49.553-05:002013-12-30T17:22:49.553-05:00Can I club Anonymous 4:39?Can I club Anonymous 4:39?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-27358434877113667862013-12-30T16:39:35.104-05:002013-12-30T16:39:35.104-05:00I guess everyone lies to themselves every so often...I guess everyone lies to themselves every so often, but with you Simon it seems to be a pathology, you might want to see some one about that.

People are much more fond of seals than the aforementioned idiot bastards' sons and even the club-wielders feel more remorse when hitting the seals than they would beating the these two witless assholes until they stopped screaming.
