    How about resigning? That was disgraceful.

    And it’s not the first time either.

    I hope he gets sued for libel.

      Because he made the comments in the HoC he’s covered by Parliamentary Privilege … which IMO should be revoked.

      Wouldn’t it be slander? Since it was verbally spoken Slander would apply. Libel is regarding written statements.

      Either way, I agree with you. It was a disgraceful thing to say and should have consequences.

    He really is a piece of shit. Maybe the RCMP won’t be so willing to protect him and his family next time they are threatened.

    That’s his job I guess. To jump and prod and provoke and show that the colour blue is better than the colour red. Issues don’t matter, just opposition (even to a great idea). Most of that HoC activity is just elementary school insults and clapping for your own bully, very little gets done.
