In a very bizarre QP today, Paul Martin responded to a question by tabling the “South Beach Diet” and telling Stephen Harper he should take a look at it. I’m dead serious. The same person who called on Stephen Harper “to resume respectful dialogue” in the House called him fat in Question Period.
I’m not sure if this will get any media play but you can be sure that if the tables were reversed there would be comments that Harper is “too angry” to lead Canada, lots of media stories, and a call from the Prime Minister for “civility“.
