In all the nightmare years of Harperland, it was one of the foulest bills the Con regime ever rammed through parliament.
Pierre Poilievre's Orwellian named Fair Elections Act, which he claimed would strengthen democracy.
But was in fact a blatant attempt to strangle it by suppressing the vote.
So I'm glad to see that ghastly law is about to join Poilievre in the garbage can of history.
Once upon a time Pierre Poilievre was one of the loudest and craziest members of the Con regime. A political thug if ever there was one.
But we haven't heard a peep out of him since he won his fifth term by less than 2,000 votes.
However today the Commons was choosing a new Speaker and he couldn't help himself.
Even though the joke was lame, and only reminded us that his humiliation couldn't be greater.
After four years and 24 days of being slowly strangled by Stephen Harper, the 41st Parliament has finally groaned its last, and given up the ghost.
And although that bestial leader must have enjoyed savaging the traditions and values of the country he hates with a passion only he can muster.
He can hardly be celebrating. Because his depraved behaviour has finally caught up with him.
And it is, as Chantal Hébert writes, his season of discontent.
You should have seen Stephen Harper this evening in the House of Commons, beaming like a proud father, and clapping wildly, as his Reform boy Pierre Poilievre stood up to vote.
On his Day of Disgrace.
And his equally excited Con sheep bleated their approval of the so-called Fair Elections Act.
On their Day of Shame.
I knew he would go after the Supreme Court, now that he is so bitter and crazy desperate.
I knew that he would not be able to contain his anger, after losing five SCOC decisions in a row.
And that his rage would explode out of every orifice like vomit or diarrhoea.
But who knew him and his depraved Cons would stoop so low as to try to smear the Chief Justice?
In more than eight years of blogging against the atrocities of the Con regime, nothing has bothered me more than the way the MSM has heaped slavish praise on its deranged leader.
For while I have always seen Stephen Harper as a monster, who has broken every rule of decency in his bid to change this country beyond recognition.
The MSM has so often called that bizarre behaviour the work of a political genius.
So am glad to see that even Andrew Coyne has finally recognized that there is no there there.
Golly. I don't know who looked more more beaten or more pathetic today, Stephen Harper or Pierre Poilievre. It was too close to call.
But what is certain is that both were humiliated beyond belief.
Harper slapped in the face by the Supreme Court, and sent crashing to the canvas.
Stephen Harper threw in the towel on Senate reform Friday after the Supreme Court slammed the door on his hopes of a quick fix for the scandal-plagued upper house.
His hapless stooge Poilievre forced to walk like a burro backwards on his Unfair Elections Act.
Once upon a time Canada seemed like a brighter, better place to me than it does today.
A more hopeful, more optimistic, more decent country.
A country where an opposition MP could write a polite letter to a Minister like this one. (PDF)
And expect to get a reasonable reply.
But this is Harperland, and this is Pierre Poilievre...
Oh. My. Gobble. I see that Pierre Poilievre is still trying to pretend that his foul Unfair Elections Act is perfect.
But that if the Cons in the House of Turkeys want to make it even better, he might welcome their recommendations.
"I'm prepared to defend every single measure in the Fair Elections Act," Poilievre told CTV's Power Play on Tuesday. But he added: "From the beginning I've said if there are good ideas that will make this great bill even better, then I am happy to hear them."
When in fact the bill is hideously flawed, those recommendations are only a SCAM designed to put lipstick on a pig.
Or TWO.
When I saw Linda Frum had caused a flap on Twitter by trying to defend the indefensible Unfair Elections Act, all kind of thoughts flew into my mind.
How could somebody so dumb be a Senator? Can I be one?
And lucky for her she only made a fool out of herself on Twitter.
Where everyone forgets what anyone said the day before.
But sadly I see, she couldn't leave dumb alone.
He has always been more of an American style politician than a Canadian one.
The closest thing to Richard Nixon and his dirty trick Republicans this country has ever seen.
He brought their disgusting attack ads to Canada.
And his foul Unfair Elections Act is right out of the Republican playbook.
I never can decide which famous story Harperland reminds me of the most.
The Emperor's New Clothes or Lord of the Flies.
Or answer the questions historians will ask.
Did he really think he could get away with it? Why were so many so silent for so long? Or fail to understand the nature of the monster?
But I'm glad to see that even Andrew Coyne now understands that maybe the Unfair Elections Act is just CRAZY.
I thought we were making good progress in our struggle to try to force the Cons to change or kill their foul so-called Fair Elections Act.
But it turns out I may have been a bit too optimistic.
For while we have made progress, it seems far too many Canadians are still too ignorant or too complacent.
Golly. I must admit I didn't think ANYBODY could beat out Brad Butt for the title of Con Klown of the Year.
Because when he told the Commons he had "personally witnessed" massive voter fraud. Only to admit he hadn't. He'd only heard about it. Years ago.
I didn't think it was possible to top that whopper eh?
But I was wrong.
It turns out we have another challenger !!!!!
If you want to know what Stephen Harper and his ghastly Cons have done to our Parliament all you had to do is watch Question Period today.
For I've rarely seen a more rowdy session. The Cons were howling like jackals, or drunks.
So I'm not surprised that a Con Minister has been accused of threatening an NDP MP.
Well nobody can deny that they were made for each other. Or made of each other.
With Stephen Harper usually being the mouth, and Pierre Poilievre the other end.
For there was Harper's ghastly little baby today defecating all over the Chief Electoral Officer.
OMG. Can you believe that shameless Jason Kenney? First him and his Cons brought in a flood of foreign workers.
Then he claimed there was a skill shortage and there wasn't.
Then it was revealed that he has been pimping for a McDonald's franchise.
And now he's trying to get some political mileage by cracking down on the scam he created.
He's the most Republican looking MP I've ever seen.
A ghastly little fanatic who could just have easily have been suckled by Karl Rove as he was suckled by Stephen Harper.
And of course his foul voter suppression bill is straight out of the Republican play book, or the anus of Amerika.
But what Pierre Poilievre doesn't seem to have considered is that the bill could blow up in his face.
Or that the Cons could win the battle but lose the war.
Well I think I can now OFFICIALLY declare that Spring has arrived in Simonville, the small humble corner of Canada where it's never Harperland.
And I must admit that all I feel like doing is climbing on to the old boathouse roof, stretching out my arms like Jesus, giving thanks to the merciful Gods of The Great White North, and soaking up the sun.
But this is shaping up as a Spring like no other.
Because everywhere I look in Canada I see signs of rebellion, as ordinary Canadians mobilize to defend their democracy...
I'm sure Sheila Fraser knew when she called the Con's Fair Election Act an "attack on democracy" that the Cons would come after her like a pack of rabid rats.
And sure enough, as I pointed out in my last post, the Cons are trying to smear her.
But if Pierre Poilievre, the leader of the rat pack, thought he could intimidate her, he must be very disappointed and very desperate.
Because there she was on CBC Radio today. Gently, but firmly, taking his bill apart again...
