I vote Jane and Craig as the WORST for MONTHS. It was TERRIBLE. Those two have no SHAME. What makes them think they are EXPERTS on ANY topic? And they take the word of their guest from THE STAR to have any credibility. What a laughing stock they are making of themselves, but thats the media for you. Maybe they should get a REAL JOB. Stockwell Day put her in her place!!! CTV Question Period voted Maxime Bernier as the worst MP for the week today. I vote Jane and Craig as the WORST for MONTHS. It was TERRIBLE.
