The Conservative Gaffe Boat Chugs On
So, Canadians, are you sick of all these verbal fuckups and the surrounding coverage they get? No? Then I’m not trying hard enough! Here’s another one from the “sorry I said something incredibly stupid” files…
The Conservatives have issued another apology, this time for comments caught on video Wednesday by an assistant to Transport Minister Lawrence Cannon.
Mr. Cannon was campaigning in Maniwaki, Que., Wednesday when a group of protesters from the divided native community of Barriere Lake showed up to outline their demands.
Mr. Cannon listened to their speech and then left, but his constituency assistant continued an exchange with the lead protester, Norman Matchewan.
“If you behave and you’re sober and there’s no problems and if you don’t do a sit down and whatever, I don’t care,” said Mr. Cannon’s assistant Darlene Lannigan to Mr. Matchewan.
Considering that the blogosphere seems to have latched onto debating whether or not Elizabeth May thinks all Canadians are stupid, I’m surprised this hasn’t gotten much attention. But, come on, isn’t this now the Conservative government’s second or third round of verbal idiocy in recent weeks? Really, the third time someone calls you a horse you buy a saddle and all that. You stay classy, Cons.
