Andrew Scheer likes to portray himself as a man on a mission, a man chosen by his God to bring truth and light to Canada.
As well as an avenging Trumpkin born to rain fire and brimstone down on Justin Trudeau and his "elites."
But sadly for Scheer, as even some in our Con media have pointed out, that schtick just isn't cutting it.
And as I have pointed out, he is getting an ugly and most ungodly reputation as a compulsive liar.
Andrew Scheer says he only found out about Lynn Beyak's racist comments three days ago. But sadly it seems he was lying. Again. How big can that nose grow? https://t.co/8etwO14xQY pic.twitter.com/Ojbc94vfdf— Simon (@montrealsimon) January 6, 2018
And as if that lie wasn't bad enough, and his nose wasn't long enough, now he's done it again.
The Conservative Party of Canada recently launched a new ad campaign claiming that the federal government’s carbon tax “has now come into effect.” The only problem is — it hasn’t.
“Trudeau’s carbon tax is now in effect. Get ready to see your home heating costs soar!” read one of the party’s Facebook ads. The ad linked to a page on the Conservative Party’s website that asked supporters to sign their opposition to the “Liberal tax garb (sic).”
And although the Cons have issued a correction, you need a magnifying glass to read it...
It doesn't contain even a hint of an apology to the people it smeared or Schmeared.
And as even this NDP supporter points out, it's not the first time Scheer has lied about taxes:
Scheer keeps doing this—making up stuff about taxes going up that haven’t. He also said small business taxes went up when actually they were cut Jan 1 2018 and will be cut again Jan 1 2019. What’s wrong with him? https://t.co/jRWwDy3zR8— Tom Parkin (@Tom_Parkin_) January 10, 2018
So it's like he can't help himself.
Which suggests two things to me:
One, Scheer and his political thugs are still the same old Cons that Stephen Harper made in his nasty image...
The same old garbage gang who wouldn't know decency if it hit them in the face.
And two, with every day that passes Schmeagol is becoming more and more of a hit and run liar like Donald Trump.
Which makes me wonder whether he can be trusted when he says he is going to Washington next week to lobby the Trump administration on NAFTA.
After the way him and his disgusting gang behaved last time, when they tried to inflame the Republicans by bringing up the Omar Khadr settlement, for crass political purposes.
Something that could have scuttled NAFTA before Canada even had a chance to defend itself.
Which couldn't have been more disgraceful or more cowardly.
And bordered on treason.
You know, even after studying them like bugs, I still can't understand why Andrew Scheer and his Cons do what they do, have no shame, and act more like aliens than Canadians.
Even though they're supposed to be rebuilding their party out of the rubble of the Harper years...
If anyone has any ideas I'd like to hear them.
But what I did say not long ago, is that this kind of hit-and-run smear campaign is what we can expect when the Con campaign is being run by Hamish Marshall, the man who helped Ezra Levant run the hate mongering rag The Rebel...
And since Schmeagol is happy to be called Harper with a smile, and worships at the altar of his Godzilla AND Donald Trump, you know it's going to get worse rather than better.
And all I can say is that Andrew Scheer should put a flashing light at the end of his long lying nose...
So he doesn't poke anyone, and decent people can see him coming and get out of his way.
The Cons chose the wrong leader, a creepy fanatic unfit for office.
And if Canada is going to survive their evil influence.
They must be made to pay for it all the way to the next election...

Happy New Year! in more ways than one..... Smearing Justin is Not working....how come they don't get this?????
The Canada cons drool and hope we become mallable like our southern neighbours.
Except the southern strategy has no traction in Canada. Our minority population is minuscule and our experience with the multicultural world is overall very positive.
Trump ran as a man of the people, then passed tax cuts that will bankrupt the nation. In the meantime the benefits flow mostly to the top 1%.
Sadly this narrative is missing from the MSM, who are the 1%. They talk about Trump and the circus meanwhile the bread is being stolen.
Cons have the advantage of speaking directly to the lizard brain. Everyone knows Lizards are cold blooded.
Just as Harper did so well for a while, Schmeag is trying to create issues that don't exist. That's what leaders with no clue, or substance or moral compass do.
Sadly for Schmeag, Canadians caught on to Harper's dirty bag of tricks and kicked his sorry ass out of 24 Sussex and so ended the reign of the worst PM in the history of the universe(that just about covers it).
Schmeag would be wise to learn from that but he hasn't. These HarperCons seem to derive some kind of sick, twisted pleasure out of being nasty. It's reminiscent of the school yard bully who's being an asshole just for the sake of being an asshole.
Until the Cons grow up and quit playing "make believe" with their faux scandals and such, JT will easily win in 2019 because just like Santa, we'll know who's been naughty and who's been nice.

Not a big fan of Scheer but I will be voting for him in the next election. I am pro life, a strongly held personal belief, therefore I cannot support Trudeau and the Liberals.
Conservatives are treason

"Andrew Scheer want to repeal the Liberal tax garb"
Who the hell writes their ad copy? Boris Badenoff? Donald Trumpovich? Or maybe it's Ezra the Elf. Since the word "repeal" means to "remove" or "pull back," and the word "garb" means "clothing," perhaps there's a bit of projection going on here. In other words, it sounds like someone wants to repeal or remove Justin's garb or clothing! Although, as nauseating as it might be to think about, it's really Scheer the wannabe emperor who has no clothes (and Ezra the mad tailor hanging by an invisible thread).
Whether it's projection or not (lol), not to get hung up on spelling and grammar, but not proofreading your official public statements is a sign of gross unprofessionalism. It wouldn't pass muster in a high-school term paper, and it certainly reveals Scheer and his party of functional illiterates for the Trump-esque deplorables they are.
Get a brain, morans. SAD!
This has happened many times in the past few years and Simon has always been on top of it. I think the Cons are overly giddy and bursting with righteous indignation right before they publish their disparaging ads and in that emotional state, they fail to proof read it.
It's especially funny when they raise a room sized banner and it has mistakes in it. Morans indeed.

It's amazing how Scheer and Trump are both serial liars. Cons must have a lying gland as well as a fear gland. Too bad the con media can't or won't put two and two together. If this is a way Scheer intends to fight the next election it's going to be the dirtiest election ever.
Glad to hear you support sex education, planned parenthood, and availability sexual protections to avoid pregnancies, as well as government funded subsidized daycare, child tax benefits, and funding for unwed mothers facilities, as well as the other necessities required by the poor and disadvantaged for those who find themselves in poor economic situations to care for unwanted and unneeded children. Far too may proLife advocates are only interested in protecting the fetus, once born the children and the mothers do become forgotten, are marginalized, and are attacked by the same people who were the driving force behind their tragic life situation. I am glad to see you will be part of the solution, and not part of the problem.
When all your life you have treated others like a nail, you tend to forget there are other tools in the crib than a hammer, and that they can be more effective.
If you are a woman I fully support your personal choice as the future of our race depends on it. If you are a man I am sorry to inform you the God train on this subject left the station several decades ago and isn't returning. Perhaps if you hurry you can catch it at the Vatican or in Saudi Arabia. Alternatively you can do what you can to get Scheer elected and although he is powerless to change the situation he could perhaps appeal to your moral sensibility and defund some of the woman's health charities resulting in unnecessary pain and suffering in the name of religion.

Happy new year Simon.
The funny thing is that Con Plants are jumping out of shadows at the town hall events Mr. Trudeau is hosting and he is, more or less, pantsing them verbally. All their talking points are being turned against them. Freedom of speech dog whistles are being turned into clarion calls for diversity. Khadr is being turned into a Charter defence.
They are losing, badly. They are disorganised, grotesque and Cyril Schneer will soon be in perpetual opposition...if not retirement.
Your a king kanute voter. good luck with the tides
Hi Kathleen...Happy New Year to you!! If you remember Stephen Harper spent hundreds of millions of dollars trying to destroy Justin Trudeau only to end up destroying himself. It didn't work for Harper it won't work for Schmear...
Hi Filcher...what I find so bizarre is that Scheer is claiming that he is a new leader with a "positive message" but the Con propaganda department is still grinding out the same kind of attack ads they did during the Harper years. In the corporate world the only way you can break a no longer wanted corporate culture is to fire a lot of executives. The Cons can't do that, so I believe it's going to take another traumatic defeat to get them to see the light..,
Hi Steve...I vividly remember the first attack ad the Harper Cons put out, because it was clear to me that it was more Republican than Conservative or Canadian. Harper and those around him were very influenced by the Lee Atwood School of politics, and after so many years in power they got stuck in that rut and can't seem to get out of it. Good, as you point out, that kind of crap won't work here...
Hi JD...What motivated me to start blogging was mt perception that the Cons were trying to bully their opponents. I had never seen anything like it, I was absolutely disgusted, and just like I did in high school I decided I would give those bullies a taste of their own medicine. As you say the Cons seem to get some kind of sick pleasure out of being nasty, and until they stop that un-Canadian behaviour they won't get anywhere, and I will keep attacking them...
Hi anon @11:36 am...I respect your right to believe what you want. My answer to those who are against abortion has always been the same. If you don't believe in abortion, don't have one. Just don't try to force your beliefs on others...
Hi Filcher and RT...well said, how lucky I am to have commenters as smart and as progressive as you are. You humble me on my own blog !!#@!!
And I couldn't be happier...
Hi Jackie...What? You're not afraid of the the Liberal tax garb? 😳 OMG. Those Cons really are the limit. It makes you wonder what kind of morons work in that little house of horrors. Oh well, let's put it this way, they're not exactly what we would call winners. Ten years from now people will ask whatever happened to Andrew Scheer after he was humiliated by Justin Trudeau? And most will say I have no idea...😎
7:30 on a Friday morning.....5 degrees outside and rising! Nice to see new visitors to your blog, Simon.....sad there are so many Anonymous people!
Anon 11:36 AM said he would vote for Scheer in the next election because he is pro-life. In the years the Harper government held the majority of seats, did they pass any pro-life legislation? Were abortions made illegal under Harper?
hi anon...it does make you wonder doesn't it? It almost seems that Scheer is challenging Trump to see who can tell more lies in one day. Good luck with that one. But yes I'm afraid you're right, we do need to be ready to fight the dirtiest Cons and the dirtiest election ever...
hi Pierre...thank you and Happy New Year to you too!! You're so right, I'm sure those hecklers are Con plants even if I can't prove it. And like you I'm impressed by the way Justin Trudeau is turning their hateful talking points against them. In fact I'm so impressed, I just finished a whole post on that subject... ;)
hi Kathleen...yes I am getting a lot of comments these days, and I enjoy every one of them. Or almost every one of them ;)
And although I encourage readers to sign their comments with a first name or an invented one, I don't mind that many are anonymous. The internet can be a nasty place, and I want everyone to feel comfortable here...
VOTE NDP! JAGMEET SINGH 2019.
