Jean Lapierre: Shameless

November 13, 2005 · By kaqchikel

In a speech promising that the federal government will deliver “the merchandise” to Quebec in the form of an extra $500 million in transfer payments, the federal Minister of Transport and Liberal Quebec lieutenant Jean

Lapierre told delegates there is no shame in being a Liberal in Quebec and predicted a party majority in the next election.

Lapierre claimed that the announcement has nothing to do with electioneering, but he was quick to talk about the majority government that he expects his party to win. There is no shame in being Liberal. There is no shame among Liberals. Is that not the problem? No shame at all.

    Prediction for next Canadian election

    Liberals retain minority with fewer seats
    NDP gains some seats
    Tories stall

    Result: Liberals and Tories dump Martin and Harper before follow-up election
    Good news: Maybe we’ll get someone with vision to lead the country instead of Mr. Dithers and Mr. Icicle

    I agree.

    They have no shame.

    Read VDH’s Who Killed Homer for an exposition on a culture which has no shame.

    Tough for the NDP to gain seats and for the Liberals to still form the government. The Liberal minority depends upon scaring enough transient ND voters back into the warm embrace of Uncle Paul.

    Mr. Icicle!
    Not long ago, the liberal media was calling him an angry man.

    Thanks for the tip, Stepchild. There has to be some sense of proper honour for shame to hit someone. No danger of that with our friends in Ottawa.

Got something to say?
