John Cleese was unavailable for comment.

B.C. Speaker bars use of mock ministerial titles in legislature.

Speaker Darryl Plecas said the opposition cannot continue to make up titles for cabinet ministers — such as “minister of job loss” or “minister of intimidation” — ending a technique that had been used by all parties for years but had flared up as a particular point of dispute on Monday.

  2. That would be my first address in the legislature.
    “Mr. Turncoat, I mean, Mr. Speaker.”
    Have him expell me until I apologize. It would be a media frenzy from then on.

    Something these people haven’t learned. This could be Climate Barbie all over again.
    Canada needs a Ministry of Silly Socks. I suspect Trudeau missed his meeting today because he couldn’t decide what socks to wear.

  4. Disraeli responding to the order to withdraw his declaration stating that half of the cabinet were asses:
    “Mr. Speaker, I withdraw. Half of the cabinet are not asses..”

  5. Things will get interesting after two years elapse. Plecas, the idiot turncoat, will face a Recall campaign, that will be successful. Goodbye Speaker. He is the reason we have an arrogant GREENDP Government today. The Libs revoked his party membership after he turned Benedict. POS Liar.

  6. i agree, and when the trained seals start clapping in unison you would think you were at sea world.

  7. Sooner the better scar. I’m not in the riding, but happy to donate to the cause. Apparently his gold plated pension kicks in May 2019. So there’s time to deny him that booty.

  8. leftists have no sense of humour:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Vander_Zalm
    from the link: “On June 22, 1978, the Victoria Daily Times published a political cartoon by Bob Bierman that portrayed the then-Minister of Human Resources as a grinning sadist deliberately snapping the wings off helpless flies. Vander Zalm launched legal action for libel, Vander Zalm v. Times Publishers. Justice Craig Munroe of the B.C. Supreme Court awarded Vander Zalm $3,500 in damages. The decision was overturned by the BC Court of Appeal in 1980, a decision praised by journalists as a victory for free speech. The original cartoon was purchased by the National Archives of Canada for $350.”
