“Will the Honourable Minister please tell us why this government chooses to govern the House with intimidation and fear?
A government that allows sexist, racist and homophobic comments?”
“Jane, you ignorant slut. Why don’t you sit down and shut the hell up? No-one in this house wants to hear from the likes of you and your light in the loafers buddies. Shouldn’t you be at home knitting or something? I have half a mind to march across this floor and give you a firm backhand to keep you in your place. Now why don’t you just let us get back to doing our jobs? I’m sure Canadians want to see us debating policies and laws and not the finer points of etiquette as prescribed by Miss Manners, baby!”
“Mr. Speaker! Is this the way you allow members of this House to address on another? I am not anyone’s baby!”
“I’m sorry, I wasn’t listening. I’ll get the stenographer to read that back. . . what’s that? . . . there seems to have been a glitch with the steno machine. We didn’t get that last bit. What’s this about babies?”
“Mr. Speaker, I think what Broomhilda over there is trying to say is that all she is good for is making babies. . . I disagree. I wouldn’t get near her with a ten foot broom!”
“Hey Dad, you watchin Saturday Night Live?”
“No son, Question Period, go outside and play, it’s not for kids.”
“Aww.”
