On my very first day in parliament, I would propose the following: That, starting immediately, citizen members of this House stop referring to themselves all the time as "honourable".

I watched this for the first time this week and thought the same thing that is it anything but honourable most of the time. Sometimes it is, but a lot of the time it is not. Such contempt of faces around some of the speakers, other members, are like out of Shakespeare play sneering, fakeness, fake clapping for words which are just deflection avoidance of actually answering questions. Some comments as deflection are repeated over and over and over while the actual questions are never answered. The government talks about having an efficient public sector when in the House they are not efficient at all. Instead of actually answering the question they find anything at all to point out about the other party cause they don't want to answer the question. In a court of law, lawyers can object to things not relevant, or object and say asked and answered. In the house of commons they can say anything 100 times avoiding answering questions. Talk about inefficient! An audit should be done on How many questions were asked in the a year and ACTUALLY answered on each party. Maybe there should be rules that allow freedom of expression but not abuse of time by saying the same comment about another party whilst not answering the question asked. Does the government think Canadians are that stupid? They often behave like spoiled teenagers with naive intelligence. That said, I love democracy, the alternative is not something I want.

The last Politician I heard use the word clearly as much as the conservatives was Richard Milhouse Nixon or Tricky Dicky who said" Let
Concerned Canadian(s):
The conservatives and Tim Uppal trying to use the straw man argument of the NDP being above traffic laws is ludicrous.
Dude:
Heard enough of this garbage. Both parties suck, the system is broken, time for change.
