A hilarious moment in Parliament (in Canada)
For those of you who don't know, in Canada we have "Question Period" in our parliament every day. The opposition members of parliament get to ask questions of the Prime Minister and all the other members of his party. This is something that happened a few days ago. Jack Layton, the questioner, is the leader of the New Democratic party and was hping to skewer the P.M. with his question. Well....look what happened!

4. As much as I detest our current P.M I enjoyed seeing Layton who is
so sanctimonious, being made to look like an "ass" himself!

Okay, except the fact that Granholm was born there.

Just kidding!!! I like Canada. It's the second-best country north of the Rio Grande. :D
