PBO Kevin Page - a noble knight?

So Harpo & Co.'s prorogue is on, eh?

From the Tory vantage point this must all seem like a win-win. Partisan, myopic, self-serving, committee avoiding; it's just what a Con doctor would order... oopsie, maybe not? Seems there may be some unintended side-effects to this strategy. From today's Globe and Mail we read that, indeed, not all parliamentary offices will be lying dormant until early March. Though the House of Commons may be silent, Canada's Parliamentary Budget Officer has rightly determined that he should carry on with his duties:

"Prorogation will not silence Parliamentary Budget Officer Kevin Page, who plans to release three substantive reports in the run-up to the March budget.

Through a quirk – or, more accurately – complete silence in the rules when it comes to the conduct of his fledgling office during a prorogation, Mr. Page says nothing stops him from continuing with his work. As a result, his reports will provide a rare flurry of activity in a quiet, snow-covered parliamentary precinct scheduled to remain idle for 11 straight weeks. ....

His next report, which could come out as early as next week, will explore an issue Finance Minister Jim Flaherty doesn't want to talk about.

It will provide an in-depth analysis in support of the view that Canada faces a “structural” deficit – meaning the country will be stuck in the red even when the economy bounces back."

Nice to see that, at least in some quarters on the Hill, the work ethic and quest for tranparency is alive and well! (Hmm, wonder how long it will take for Harpo & Co. to try and shut him down? My guess... they are trying to do so as I type!)

Dr. DILDO (aka MP Carolyn Bennett) is crazy!

Whew! Wow! Talk about overdue. And to think I thought it would never happen! Boy was I wrong.

In case you haven't heard yet, Canada now has a fearless spokesperson (an esteemed Member of Parliament no less) who is willing to take up the cause of ridding all our sexually un-satiated orifices from the scourge of chemically toxic DILDO's!

Yep, you read that right. Toronto's very own crazier-than-a-bedbug MP, Carolyn Bennett, has formally written to the Minister of Health Leona Aglukkaq asking her to investigate the “urgent need for responsible regulation in the adult toy industry in Canada.” (Oy vey!)

Hark, she writes, the very same chemicals that are not allowed "in children's mouth toys" [the controversial chemical bisphenol A and other phthalates] are still being allowed to penetrate our marketplace via our sex toys!

"... there's no rules preventing their use in a vibrator, Dr. Bennett says."

Now, I don't know about you, but I certainly don't want female Canadians throughout this fair and horny land frigging themselves to death with mass produced toxic Dildo's! No, I want what Dr. Carolyn Bennett is promising. I want to live in a country that .... err, ... err, ... oh criminy, I can't even finish this post properly.

Jesus! I mean, really, Jesus!

With all that is going on both domestically and internationally did we really need a Member of Parliament to take up the cause of synthetic members of all shapes, sizes, and colours in this manner. Was there not a better way to do this?

Could she have not just propose that the existing regulations be amended to include any personal use product that comes into contact with human skin? I mean really! Sometimes you just gotta draw the line somewhere; and I draw it here. This MP, this doctor, this insane nutbar, has done no favours to either her party, her cause, or dildo's in general. A weak and limp attention-getting ploy of the first and saddest order, her actions simply detract from what really matters. All Carolyn Bennett has managed to do here is prove that Canada's Parliament is, too often, a haven for dildo's of all political stripes. She should retire.
