Canada General Discussion 1.5: The Countdown Begins

^ Wish the dynastic culture returned to my province.

Careful what you ask for... the OLP are in a better position to create such a dynasty than the PCs. Wynne took over McGuinty's torch quite smoothly.

Despite the avatar, RogueBeaver is from Québec.

It seems that whenever an opposition party comes close to defeating the Alberta PCs, that party implodes by the next election, and the PCs win.

One of the Dipper MPs says Pacetti had sex without explicit consent with her in March.

[Hatman 🍁]

Someone tell the Liberals that they weren't supposed to literally rape the NDP

[Boston Bread]

One of the Dipper MPs says Pacetti had sex without explicit consent with her in March.

Holy crap.

[RogueBeaver]

There's still an impasse and we don't know what Andrews is alleged to have done.

[RogueBeaver]

CBC: The MP says she wanted Trudeau to a) write to the Speaker first b) consult her on options.

[DC Al Fine]

One of the Dipper MPs says Pacetti had sex without explicit consent with her in March.

Holy crap.

What the...

[RogueBeaver]

Andrews allegedly followed Dipper #2 home, broke and entered, shoved her against a wall while groping her and grinding his pelvis against her. She ordered him to leave and he did.

This is surreal.

[Boston Bread]

Hopefully these MPs will be gone from parliament soon.

[RogueBeaver]

They'll be gone next year.

[DC Al Fine]

They'll be gone next year.

Saint Leonard-Saint Michel has elected some pretty odious MP's, no?

Yes, this rapist's predecessor was Gagliano.

In local political news: Biebertrudeau has apparently blocked a nomination meeting here in Ottawa-Orléans, to impose his star candidate Andrew Leslie (a retired CF Lt. Gen.) over the 2011 candidate/local lawyer David Bertschi (a good guy), who is now pretty peeved.

[RogueBeaver]

Trudeau would have less candidate issues if he just used de jure appointments rather than de facto ones. That said, if Bertschi had debt issues...

[RogueBeaver]

Goldring: MPs should wear body-mounted cameras to "protect against besmirchment." What a fycking moron.

[RogueBeaver]

Horrible story about the long history of sexual abuse/harassment/assault in the Cadet programs.

PMO forces Goldring to retract.

[DC Al Fine]

From this morning's Halifax Chronicle-Herald

[RogueBeaver]

QC lawyer Suzanne Côté appointed to the Supreme Court as LeBel's replacement.

[RogueBeaver]

PKP makes it official. Glorious news!

Pacetti's constituents feel he's been unfairly treated.

Dipper 1 now regrets speaking to Trudeau.

[Hash]

No surprise there, Saint-Léonard is horrible.

[MaxQue]

Pacetti's constituents feel he's been unfairly treated.

Havign family who lived there, it's not surprising. They probably think than it's a plot against Italo-Canadians, like they did with Gagliano and various Italians in the mafia/collusion/corruption/Charbonneau things.

[RogueBeaver]

Andrews has previously been reprimanded for inappropriate behaviour towards a Grit staffer.

[Citizen Hats]

Sorry to jump back a bit

Firstly, how do you not get tired of repeating your childish nicknaming of politicians the world over?

Secondly, David Bertschi, who violated the leadership campaign spending rules 100% over (he borrowed $150,000 out of $75,000 total allowed and $25,000 allowed at any one time), and plagiarized his own logo http://waterbridgemedia.ca/portfolio/images/logo-bertschi.jpg from the British Conservative Party, is not a good guy

He's an a** who doesn't think that the pre-announced rules apply to him, and another one of the people who shouldn't have been on the leadership stage in the first place, so that he could prop up a future nomination.  I have little sympathy for Bertschi, and I have much more for the legitimate, non-plagiarizing candidates who have been blocked by party machinations elsewhere.
