Shall we consult Hansard for more of Cheryl (one of the many….) Gallant’s speeches?
If we asked any Canadian wanting to vote a skill-testing question (“Where do fish live?” “How many hemispheres make up the Earth?” “Do Mars Bars come from, er, Mars?”) electoral catastrophes like Cheryl Gallant would occur much less often.
I see that Neil MacDonald gets 3000 comments on his CBC Opinion piece yesterday, mentioning in passing,
….”Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant jumped in, too, launching a weird fake-newscast screed on Facebook about the settlement.
Now, I understand a lot of Canadians are uncomfortable with it. Since I returned from summer vacation, it seems to be the only dinner table topic under discussion.”
I cannot believe that you chose to use the R word in your article about Cheryl Gallant. While I appreciate the humour, the use of the word, and especially the context in which it was used, is sickening. Clearly the writer does not have a relative with, let’s say, Down’s Syndrome or any other intellectual disability. Shame on you!
