On Parliament Hill, they seem more Sopranos, than Socrates!
(Parental Warning scene below contains much in the way of foul language)
.
With a growing number of our elected MP's seemingly seeking status on Santa's "Naughty" list, perhaps it's time to start cataloguing the more mercurial of outbursts within the hallowed, seemingly profane at times House of Commons.
The latest example of the growing lack of civility from those who hold a seat in the Commons coming from Pat Martin, NDP MP for Winnipeg-Centre (who seems determined to win the award of potty mouth in perpetuity) and a rather nasty twitter outburst, highlighted by the term "rat faced whores".
As a public service to civility, perhaps leader Tom Mulcair could take away Pat's electronic devices.
We'll begin the research seeking out some of the Greatest of the less than great moments of Parliamentary decorum of recent times and moving forward, keep a running tally on the potty mouthed Parliamentarians.
Sadly, we suspect this may prove to be a most voluminous project.
