Enjoy,If The Finance Minister Was Self-reflexive Instead Of Self-Absorbed
JIM FLAHERTY: Ontario needs to get its shit together. A good start would be to lower its corporate tax rate, which is among the highest in the world.
JIM FLAHERTY: Actually, Ontario’s current corporate tax rate is lower than Ottawa’s.
JIM FLAHERTY: It is?
JIM FLAHERTY: Yep. Ontario’s is 14 per cent. Ottawa’s is 19.5 per cent.
JIM FLAHERTY: Hunh. Learn something new every day.
JIM FLAHERTY: Besides, you’re ultimately responsible for Ontario’s corporate tax rate.
JIM FLAHERTY: I am?
JIM FLAHERTY: You were part of the Conservative provincial government that set the current rate, which the Liberal government hasn’t changed.
JIM FLAHERTY: Really?
JIM FLAHERTY: Really.
JIM FLAHERTY: What a douchebag!
JIM FLAHERTY: Tell me about it!

I’m Waiting For A Show About A Native Who Uses White Man’s Magic To Ease Her Emotional Journey Through Life
9pm. Fox. New Amsterdam. John Amsterdam, a young Dutch soldier in the new world in 1642, shielded a young native girl from a sword, sparing her life. In thanks, the mystic girl gave him immortality. In the present, native groups sue Amsterdam, claiming damages from the portrayal of the cliché of native magic being used to help ease white people through their emotional journey through life.

To Leak One Secret, Mister Harper, May Be Regarded As A Misfortune; To Leak Two Looks Like Intentional Carelessness
“The leak of Barack Obama’s supposed backtracking on his stated position on NAFTA was regretful. Blatantly unfair. Contrary to the interests of Canada. It shouldn’t have happened. I’m sure nobody in my government was involved.”
You’re wrong. The first leak came from Ian Brodie. A second leak then came from Canada’s Consul-General in Chicago.
“I intend to get to the bottom of this disgraceful episode, to determine if anybody in my government was responsible.”
Somebody in your government was responsible: Ian Brodie.
“We’re going to investigate this entire matter and take whatever action that is deemed necessary based on the facts that we are able to discover.”
No need to investigate. It was your chief of staff. Ian Brodie. He made a comment on the subject to a CTV reporter, and the story ballooned from there.
“This incident could have serious repercussions for our two countries. You’d better believe I want to get to the bottom of it.”
IAN BRODIE! IAN – YOUR CHIEF OF STAFF, IAN BRODIE! HE WAS THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK!
“It’s a complete mystery, but, rest assured, I will find out.”
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGH!

If The Minister Of Public Works And Government Services Was Self-reflexive Instead Of Self-Absor – Wait A Second: Where Have I Heard This Before?
Senators are not earning their pay. And, I, Conservative Senator Michael Fortier, should know, because I’m one of the worst of this bad, bad lot. I only participated in five of 34 recorded votes since I was appointed to the Senate two years ago.
While I’m on the subject, I have to tell you that the Senate isn’t exactly populated with Nobel Prize winners. Seriously. Take…me, for example. If the Senate had been elected, Stephen Harper would never have been able to appoint me to it and I never would have been able to sit in his cabinet. But, am I prepared to temper my attacks on the Senate in light of this? Hell, no!

They Have To? Why?
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has threatened to sue Stephane Dion and the Liberals if they keep pursuing allegations that the Conservative Party offered MP Chuck Cadman money in exchange for his vote that brought down the Liberal government of Paul Martin.
Good for Harper! Since Conrad Black is now a jailed felon, somebody in Canada has to keep libel chill alive!
