The Gallah House! Abominable! -- Parliamentary Restaurant Too Good?
The gallah is a noisy Australian cockatoo.
I tried to listen to Question Period from our Canadian House of Commons but the racket is terrible! The questioner has to scream to be heard; the House is ruined with the unbelievable caterwauling. Is the intent to divert our attention to it so we will--cannot--listen? Does the Speaker not want us to hear? If he cannot demand and enforce some degree of civility, he is not doing his job. Some of can read -- and do. This is pointless! Mr. Speaker, do your job -- or do the decent thing for democracy -- and quit. Like many Canadians, I am just waiting for this governmnet to be gone. NJC
Parliamentary Restaurant Too Good?
While we're at it, is the food at the Parliamentary restaurant too rich? Many of our MPs have obviously been at the trough in more ways than the liberal corruption scandal is revealing. Perhaps the MPs should live a bit more like the rest of Canadians -- brown bagging it -- or schlepping through the bad weather to whatever is available for lunch nearby? It might help them to make decisions more in keeping with the values of ordinary Canadians. But of course, I jest! NJC
