Tom Lukiwski, shown above in the greatest picture of a Tory MP ever, is in hot water for comments he made back in 1991: Random Thought Update: I know the provincial NDP had this tape and their real target was Wall, but this probably could have made a bigger impact had it been released during […]

I guess it’s fitting that a senseless MP wants to leave Canada cent-less. As for his proposal to scrap the penny, there’s a certain logic to it, and inflation makes the penny’s demise is inevitable.
