I was going to vote, but I had only one choice and I needed three!!
None of these three understand how ridiculous this practice is.
In the Private sector, we would not be allowed to carry on like this
in meetings as we realize that time and money is better spent on
productive meetings. It really upsets us to think we pay taxes to
the Government so they can carry on like this!!
What the heck!!

From wilson:

-Question: Have you ever been a sexist bully?
-Ah yes, a bright and shining star with a real future in gotcha journalism.

This person needs to research what 'gotcha journalism' is. This is a straightforward question, which is actually what the business should strive to do more often.

FLAHERTY: I'll have you know I've been a sexy bull all my life since I was fourteen and a half and Shelley from four lockers over looked at me and smiled and… What, that was the question, wasn't it?

Who said they don't? No one posted any such thing.

Yes, MPs of all stripes seem reduced to the maturity level of playschool children. Scratch that — playschool children are more respectful, even in gangs.

Except Ken Dryden.

Isn't the heckling from backbenchers pretty much just drowning out heckling by the person who has the floor?

But the House of Commons wouldn't be the House of Commons without heckling. It's in their nature.

I gotta say some aggressiveness from Canadian reporters is a long time coming. I think back 3 years to the Income Trust disaster inflicted by the Conservatives. It was obvious that reporters, including many so called business reporters, did not understand the implications of how much damage this tax change caused Canadians or they were too enthralled with "Canada's New Conservative Government (TM)" to call them on this flawed policy. In what other country would a government be able to roll out a new surprise tax policy based on blacked out documents as proof a policy change was required? Russia? Nigeria? Not the US of UK. http://www.caiti.info/resources/fla_docs.pdf You'd think reporters would be all over this type of cover-up, pulling a Van Loan-Gun Registry type of scrum on the 2006 Conservatives. But that was 3 years ago and not a peep of criticism. A cover-up that cost Canadian investors $35 billion in market losses. Jim Flaherty's reputation as a competent Finance Minister has since taken enough of a beating one wonders if he could get away with this level of incompetence today. I'm in favour of more aggressive reporting if it holds those who direct Canada's policy in account for their actions. This does not happen often in this country.
