[Canada] Canadian Politics Redux

[Neil]

Oh come on. She's got balls. All the best to her. We need more people like her. Canadians are otherwise too boring.

We really don't.  I mean, I have nothing but contempt for protesters of any kind, but at least the rest of the bunch choose the right place and time for their nonsense.  The Senate Chamber during the throne speech is never the right place or time.

[Neil]

The problem with her acts is now they're going to crack down on all pages that come after her, which is really unfortunate.

It's probably for the best.  Entitled punks have done it to themselves.

[Admiral Yi]

It's the same kind of balls demonstrated by that Congressman who called Obama a liar during one of his State of the Union speeches.

[Barrister]

It's the same kind of balls demonstrated by that Congressman who called Obama a liar during one of his State of the Union speeches.

Yup.

[HVC]

Who the hell is Arper?

That's a fair analogy.

[Neil]

Who the hell is Arper?

Steve's long-lost brother from Newfoundland.

[Jacob]

Yeah, I don't really think that was a good protest at all. If you're a parliamentary page, you're there to help the machinery of parliament run smoothly, not to share your own political view.

The incident is minor enough that it doesn't mean much, but I don't think she made the right decision.

Disagree. Everyone is talking about her. Protests work best when they're not the right time. It's like nothing bothers me more than protestors demonstrating outside parliament in summer or on weekends...dudes, nobody's  home.

[Josephus]

Who the hell is Arper?

What a French Canadian calls the prime minister.

[Josephus]

It's the same kind of balls demonstrated by that Congressman who called Obama a liar during one of his State of the Union speeches.

Completely different.

[crazy canuck]

Disagree. Everyone is talking about her.

This is the first I have heard of it.  It looks silly and that is probably why people are talking.

[Barrister]

It's the same kind of balls demonstrated by that Congressman who called Obama a liar during one of his State of the Union speeches.

Completely different.

How so?

[Admiral Yi]

It's the same kind of balls demonstrated by that Congressman who called Obama a liar during one of his State of the Union speeches.

Completely different.

How so?

Besides the obvious.

She was disrupting a throne speech, a speech by the GG, acting on behalf of our head of state, the Queen.  I think it's as least as bad as the disruption as during Obama's state of the union but because this one was obviously pre-meditated it makes it even worse.
