daveberta still in ottawa.

As mentioned in my previous post, I visited Parliament Hill and took in today's Question Period from the Members Gallery.

There's nothing like actually visiting QP in person to reaffirm the beleif that the entire exercise is pointless.

Random Liberal MP: Mr. Speaker, four months of Conservative arrogance is costing taxpayers billions of dollars in [insert issue here]. Conservative arrogance is tearing this country apart!

[insert jeers, rude remarks, standing ovation, etc]

Random Tory Minister: Mr. Speaker, thirteen years of Liberal corruption is forcing us to cost taxpayers billions of dollars in [insert issue here]. Liberal corruption almost tore this country apart.

[insert jeers, rude remarks, standing ovation, etc]

Random Liberal MP: Mr. Speaker, David Emerson, David Emerson, David Emerson, Tory arrogance, Kyoto accord...

[insert jeers, rude remarks, standing ovation, etc]

Random Tory Minister: Mr. Speaker, Liberal corruption, Liberal corruption, Liberal corruption, Joe Volpe recruiting kindergarteners...


But seriously folks, it's a really beautiful room. It's just unfortuante that it's always filled with politicians... ;-)
