Jack Layton speaks about civility in parliament but a new civility index conducted
by researchers from McMaster University has found him to be the most negative MP. Former MP and Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff scored just slightly ahead of Jack. Not surprising, Conservative MP Rona Ambrose scored as the most positive.
Mr. Layton was deemed most negative, just ahead of former Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff, while Conservative public works minister Rona Ambrose was considered most positive after the House speaker
Kinda of ironic don't you think when Jack and his one of his most boistrous rabble rouser's in caucus Pat Martin vows to be a very civil opposition.
Jack Layton and his caucus will enter Parliament Thursday with a promise to be a very civil Opposition. Even the NDP’s most notorious pitbull, Winnipeg MP Pat Martin, will be passing out buttons reading “Opto Civilitas,” Latin for “I choose civility.”
Let's just hope they keep that promise!
The CBC and Globe aren't touching this story with a 10' pole. Amazingly the Star covered it though.

ReplyDeleteGee,I wonder why? Hmmm...... Had it been Stephen Harper the rudest MP,it would be top story every 15 minutes on CTV,the State Broadcaster and the front page story in the Globe.

ReplyDeletethe pope would have heard about it and above all the media would rant to no end.
CBC CTV globe/mail etc are rude and arrogant same as Layton.
Watch well how they treat Layton-with kid gloves.

ReplyDeleteTerry Milweski and Bob Fife come to mind. Terry is beyond rude and arrogant in my opinion. Fife is just plain rude and ignorant.
Both Mileweski and Fife are lower than a snakes belly and old "pencil neck" is one notch below that.
ReplyDeleteCIAO.

This surprises me actually. I can remember hearing about Thos. Mulcair yelling in Candice Hoeppner's face about the gun registry. Pat Martin displayed some particularly despicable behaviour too. I didn't pay a whole lot of attention but I don't recall hearing anything like that about Jack. But, maybe the Oh-So-Fair Media was covering for him....nah, if that was true we never would have heard about Rub-n-Tug-Gate.
