  1. That is freaking hilarious.
    I love Canadian politics.
    The guy speaking looks like he bought his suit in 1930,
    and the woman practicing her questions looks like she needs to grab Shiny Pony’s crotch.

  4. Check out the guy in the second row, the eye lids close and the head bobs down. I’d have fallen asleep too!

  6. Glad she puled that burr out of her hair before she rose to speak. Wonder where she got it? Shiny Pony’s tail?

  7. I was watching her and wondered who the hell she was talking to since nobody seemed to be paying any attention to her. She’s about as animated as her friend and cohort Doc Bennett who acts like a nervous wreck, twitching and puckering her mouth and hammering her arm as she speaks.
    She and Justin are soul mates, a pair of Thespians acting like they really know what they’re doing.

  8. If Freeland were a Conservative, this would be all over the CBC – as was Anders nodding off. Bet we do not see anything on the CBC about this.

  9. LOL, she is Turdos star candidate and his finance critic. Another not ready for primetime player.

  10. The kiss curl flip needs some work, hopefully Justin will give a demonstration at the next Liberal caucus meeting…

  11. Frankly, I don’t see much wrong with rehearsing your lines.
    However, tip to Freeland: do it out of public view.

  12. There is the next leader of the LPC, if Trudeau bombs he’ll retire as leader just like the last 3 did.
    All except Dion quit entirely, I guess Dion is a career politician with nothing else to do.

  13. The question of the day.
    Is this what happens when you get a part time drama teacher as your leader?

  14. And speaking of left-wing media bias and Chrystia Freeland, you can imagine my shock as I flipped past CNN the Sunday morning after the terror attacks and caught, by pure happenstance, that Great Public Intellectual (and serial plagarist), Fareed Zakaria, interviewing former CIA director Michael Hayden and…Chrystia Freeland!
    Which was a surprising choice as “Canadian representative” on the panel, to put it mildly, given that she’s not, you know, Canadian, except in a tangential Michael Ignatieff “just visiting” sort of way. I’d say that Iggy actually had more of a connection to the country than this particular dramatis persona (to brutalize the term; but not quite as badly as the lady in question and her “leader” do on every occasion).
    And speaking also of the dramatis personae which is the Liberal Party of Canada, I’m really enjoying “American Horror Story: Freak Show”. I’d say it’s the best one so far.

  15. I don’t either. We all know QP is a dog and pony show. What annoys and amuses me is the artifice of it all – that she’s actually rehearsing the “oh, no you di’int” head shake as part of asking the question, the faux indignation.

  16. Just part of the dog and my-little-pony show. The Liberals pretend to care so why is anybody surprised that they also pretend to be outraged?

  17. Hilarious? NOT!
    This is supposed to be Parliament not “One Flew Over The Cookoo’s Nest”
    It really does look like Freeland’s clutch is slippin”…….

  18. Totally agree.
    But then who would some of the posters here put down to make themselves feel superior?

  19. Use the cbc search engine
    Search justin. Trudeau. Or Justin Trudeau Nearly 19000 hits
    Search Stephen. Harper. Or Stephen Harper. And you get 1900. No bias there.
    Not that cbcpravda would ever call him Stephen

  20. Working on her Liberal faux-outrage along with her bobblehead routine. Lessons from her substitute drama teacher no doubt.

  21. The guy in the second row is Scott Simms — MP from Labrador. Interesting fella. I believe he fakes a Newfoundland accent. I say this because he used to work at The Weather Network, based just outside Toronto. He never had the accent when he was there. But he apparently has “rediscovered” it since deciding to leave the GTA and run for a seat in parliament. I wonder if his constituents feel patronized in any way. His fake accent is not dissimilar to Layton’s when he campaigned in that province in 2011.

  24. WOTTAHOOT!
    This may seem to be a little off topic, sorry if that’s the case. I’ve been bothered by a thought that sprang to mind recently, and I just cant seem to shake it.
    Here it is: I see a much emboldened Putin, a delusional, sabre-rattling psychopath, shit-kicking his way across Eastern Europe, Ukraine’s Crimea, Ukraine itself, The Balts’ airspaces, threatening Poland and so on. In my mind’s eye I see a series of seemingly random events, now quite firmly connected clearly defining what I see as todays ‘cause and effect’ scenarios.
    1.) US knuckles under to Putin’s demands that US withdraw missal site in Poland, and cancel plans to install more bases in Ukraine.
    2.) UK and USA fail to intervene when Russia invades Ukraine, thereby voiding The “Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances.” This Memorandum is a diplomatic Document that was signed in December 1994 by Ukraine, Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. “Epic Fail.”
    “. . . It is not a formal treaty, but rather, a diplomatic document under which signatories made promises to each other as part of the denuclearization of former Soviet republics after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
    Under the memorandum, Ukraine promised to remove all Soviet-era nuclear weapons from its territory, send them to disarmament facilities in Russia, and sign the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. Ukraine kept these promises.
    In return, Russia and the Western signatory countries essentially consecrated the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine as an independent state. They did so by applying the principles of territorial integrity and nonintervention in 1975 Helsinki Final Act — a Cold War-era treaty signed by 35 states including the Soviet Union — to an independent post-Soviet Ukraine. . . “
    3.) Thanks to the likes of latter-day turncoats and quislings, like former Americans, Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden, the Kremlin / Russo / Moscow / Putin Axis can now act withwell-documented, informed impunity.
    Weak Leadership. Cowed Leadership. Exposed Leadership. Them’s the dots. *I* see the deadly connections. Do you?

  25. Are you sure she’s practicing her speech? Anytime you see her in public she’s bopping around like the woman from Sienfeld or are the movements similar to a puppet on a string. Oh ya, a puppet and Trudeau Jr. is the puppet master.

  29. The MP speaking is Murray Rankin, NDP from Victoria. He was a founding director of the Western Canada Wilderness Committee (tree-hugging zealots from the 80s and 90s) and was an insider green operative (Lawyer) under BC’s Harcourt regime. A bright but misguided (deep-green-leftist) character who is strangely likable. I got to know him when he was attached to the Commission on Resources and Environment 1992-93) – an NDP Land Use circle-jerk on Vancouver Island and parts of the Interior.

  30. We are all assuming, of course, that she is practicing her question and not having an argument with strange voices in her head or her invisible playmate. With lieberals things may not always be as they seem to appear.

  31. ah yah set you flee
    I’ll give er a try, when expounding bullshit you really should practice, when being honest, less than perfect is good enough
    To recount an incident from the past. When a friend of mine was taken to court about her statement to a victimhood black kid, the judge asked if she want him to put it over till later in the day so she could consult the duty counsel, her answer was that she didn’t need counsel to tell the truth, but for a lie…….
    Yah, she had the case booted

  36. Perhaps two of her personalities got into a serious
    argument and the rest just headed for the tall grass.

  40. That’s Murray Rankin, a lawyer with the Commies from Victoria. As expected, he’s a hardleft kleprocrat wannabe, who wants to destroy all businesses, bleeding them dry slowly.
    I don’t know what is worse, the despots of the NDP, or the airheads of the Fiberal party, neither is an attractive alternative.
    You have to smoke dope to vote for either!

  42. That’s the best case scenario. I’ve mentioned on a number of occasions to my wife that the ‘eccentric’ individuals we’ve seen for decades on the streets of Calgary city center walking around talking to themselves are now in good company because peeps with BlueTooths do it all the time and are normalizing their once aberrant behaviour.
    LOL
    That said, Freeland looks like a lemon sucking school marm working up to lecture an unruly redneck child about their departure from PC accepted behavior.

  43. Freeland is of Ukrainian heritage,she defended Bozo when he made that hockey joke.
    Bozo,a la Putin, must be riding her hard and putting her away wet,hence the horsey head shaking.

  45. John – perhaps you should pick your friends/likeables more carefully, for if the wilderness committees et al get their ways, they will knowingly collapse our economy totally so that there may be more trees to hug!! Comprendez???

  46. I’m no friend of any greens. I said that when I last knew him 20 years ago he was “strangely likable” (despite our being at polar opposites) more like amicable enemies. As an old industrial forester from the Island, I know full well all about WCWC and along with all the other ENGOs, consider them enemies of civilization.
