The Liberal party first asked for a public apology and now has presented the House with 8 legal affidavits from MPs who swear they heard MacKay refer to Stronich as a dog. Meanwhile, MacKay is denying the whole thing and Harper is supporting him. The Liberals have asked for an all-party enquiry into this (yes....Canadian politics sometimes goes this way; obviously there isn't enough for our MPs to do). The newspapers have been having a field day for the past five days (in the dog house, bone of contention, McKay dogged, and on-and-on). Anyway, with that background, if you want to take a break from serious stuff, you can weigh in on whether MacKay should apologize (the initial request which he has refused) or resign (what some people are now requesting, arguing he not only is sexist but is now lying) or whether everyone is acting like turkeys.

I think MacKay obviously didn't have the wit to pull this off (like Trudeau who turned his public F---O-- into Fuddleduddle) so he should have just simply apologized right off.

My, you are up on Canadian gossip, aren't you? Stronich has been "good friends" with Clinton for years (before MacKay) but she definitely did the dumping with MacKay. He was so heartbroken, he went home to Nova Scotia to spend time with his dog (really!). He only hooked up with Condi much later, and meanwhile Stronich has moved on to some hockey player. MacKay is known as quite the ladies man (I know, hard to believe with that pix, Arf!), but as Stronich herself says, she doesn't exactly stay home knitting. I know all this because almost every week is a slow week for news in Canada.

Congratulations to our neighbors to the north! You must be doing the right thing to have so many slow weeks for news.

I really don't think the House is the place for this foolish crap. If he called one of his peers "a dog" he needs to grow up and act like the professional he is. The House is not the place for his personal agenda. Canadians deserve better than this.

Stronach: "He's meaaaan. Make him say he's sorry!"

McKay: "Disgust at the sight or mere mention of you means never having to say I'm sorry."

Stronach: "Nobody likes you. Everybody hates you. Might as well go eat worms!"

McKay: "Look, it's not you. It's me. I just can't stand you. You're such a child, is it any wonder that you're the biggest joke in Canadian politics?"

Stronach: "Hello? Media? I'm very rich, and you'd better make sure that this stays on the front page for a long time. I'll even give you photo ops of me and my many boyfriends."
