There, I posted.
My grandmother noticed that I haven't posted recently, so here goes. Against my better judgement, I am about to make flippant remarks that may land me in trouble. Before you criticize, keep in mind that I entirely deny making the following remarks. I did never, ever, say these things:
Peter McKay's Antics in the House of Commons
This will definitely chill the MFA's ability to woo the ladies in parliamentary circles. Alleged comments such as those get back to mothers everywhere very fast, and meeting the parents becomes that much more awkward. In dating etiquette, the only vote that counts is whether the mom thinks you're in order or not. He may have to look outside the country for his next alliance, looking to a country that does not read nor care about the news in Canada (I'm speaking of a country OTHER than Canada). Preferably a relationship that allows him to mix work and pleasure, because that's worked out so well in the past, and never explodes in your face...
Garth Turner
When I heard that Garth was turned from the Tory caucus, I immediately got hives all over my body and started to get real scared. How will one lone MP survive out in the political wilderness, especially through the winter, with all those big scary dictatorial parties out to get him? I needn't worry at all. If there is one man who can look out for himself, it's the Garth. He has fundamentally understood the dynamics of a minority parliament. If you're not in cabinet, your greatest leverage is to keep people guessing about your vote and make them pay for it. This is much easier to do when you are not blogged down by the principles inherent in "team play", "party discipline", or other constraints on your own self/local interest. In fact, it is conceivable that Garth will get a cabinet job in return for backing the government on some crucial confidence motion in the future (conceivable, though not likely). Or, maybe he'll break up with Peter McKay to cross the floor and join the Liberal Party as a chief proponent of puppies and motherhood.

You better listen to your Grandmother, man, or else!!!
On another, less serious note, my sources inside the House of Commmons tell me that Mr. MacKay's comment did in fact happen and that it was witnessed by a verifiable source. This just opens up a whole new Pandora's box of issues: what else has MacKay lied to Canadians about? Does he really hate women? Who will be the next smart lady to dump his @^%&$ *#&???
