Minna was accused of yelling from the beginning of question period to the end, yet she wants the Minister to apologize? Who comes to her rescue? Hedy Fry, a DOCTOR who is so wacky she thinks Conservatives are burning crosses "as we speak"! Maybe she should give Minna some of those pills she is taking!
I found this article dated but interesting:
So it turns out there has been a cross-burning in Canada in the past year. But not in Prince George. Or anywhere else in B.C. Or even by racists.
The one and only recent example of a cross-burning was in Montreal last March. By feminists. On International Women's Day. On the steps of a Catholic cathedral.
The feminists, hiding behind ski masks, set alight homemade crosses, then stormed the cathedral. They vandalized the walls and altar with spray paint proclaiming, "No God, no masters." They knocked down elderly nuns, destroyed hymnals and prayer books, smeared the walls with used sanitary napkins and strewed condoms around -- all in the name of tolerance. It seems these protesters could not bear any views on abortion or women's rights that disagreed with their own. And since the Catholic Church believes all abortion is sin and chooses not to ordain women as priests, well then, its cathedrals were fair game for a good ransacking.
It appears the feminists are still as out of touch as ever!

Unbelievable. To trash a church (or any building) and to assault elderly nuns is unconscionable. I hope tha those b*****s were arrested and charged.
As for QP - I have to think that Gloria Steinem, Ti-Grace Atkinson, Betty Friedan, Bella Abzug and all the other early feminists are shaking over what our supposedly enlightened and empowered women in Parliament are doing. Hedy Frye - I cannot believe that she stood up and said what she said - totally juvenile.
I'm with you, Hunter. Enough with the BS about women - the current action by feminazis and our crop of LPC and NDP female Parliamenterians is disgraceful and puts women in a terrible light. I wouldn't be surprised if some male starts saying "see, told you they couldn't handle it". These examples of empowered women are a disgrace to women everywhere.
I find the article you reference dated but interesting too.
It's been suggested that Frye meant to say Merritt, BC - referring to Ku Klux Klan activity there - not in Prince George. Hey, it's not like PMSH didn't recently refer to Kandahar as Saskatchewan. Or hey, remember that time he said he didn't see the Canadian flag and there were two in the picture that everyone watching at home on tv saw plain as day? Talk about wacky...
Personally, I think you should lay off the ladies and become a parliamentarian yourself. I wonder how long you could sit quietly without "yapping". And I wonder too how long it would take before critics looked at your ten year old blog posts, extrapolating that your past statements are your actual wacky beliefs "as we speak"!
You have a lot of vitriol for feminists Hunter and sadly the more you hurl it around the more it is you who appears out of touch.
Yuck, totally embarrassing to associate my gender with, THAT!
I do apologize. Hedy Fry's name has no "e" on the end. She's a Fry not a Frye.
So she simply got the BC town wrong? She explicitly said there were actual crosses burning.
No, she's not a Fry or a Frye. She's a whackjob.
To simply say she just got her towns mixed up and 'after all PMSH did the same thing' puts you in the same category as Dame Fry, mystereeoso: whackjob.
If you read what I wrote, clever little Eskimo, you might note I said, "it's been suggested" she got the town wrong.It has been suggested. What do you suggest happened with PMSH and his flagvision problem?
Hint: You can't blame a feminist.
How can any feminist be proud or want to associate with a dolt like Maria Minna that voted twice in an election - that should be the definition of an idiot.
Look, mystereeoso. Harper mis-spoke. Hedy Fry is a certifiable kook. In Parliament, when the cameras are off her, she's been known to make faces, stick out her tongue at those across the aisle, shout insults and generally disrupt things. You rushed to her defense with a limp wristed, 'gee whiz, she may have got the town wrong'. (I can almost hear the sissy, whiney voice you'd use to say that!)
'It's been suggested' is pure crap. I liken it to 'sources say'. You chose to take sides with someone intentionally LYING about crosses burning in BC. Use your head.
So, do you beleive there are/were crosses burning in BC? Or is this nothing but torque and spin?
Oh yeah, one more point. The Ku Klux Klan's roots are firmly embedded in left wing/Democrat history. The left always tries to pin the KKK on the right. Laughable.
Defending such a kook is even more laughable.
Re:"Minna that voted twice in an election - that should be the definition of an idiot."
According to Wiki she was cleared.
Eskimo, have you checked for skid marks lately? Your knickers are knotted.
Does Stockwell Day know which way the Niagara River flows yet?
Mystereeoso, I'm surprised that you linked to the Toronto Star article, but apparently neglected to read the comments. It doesn't say much about your research thoroughness.
In one comment, this link is provided:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kandahar,_Saskatchewan
"Kandahar is a small hamlet on Highway 16 near Wynyard, Saskatchewan, Canada, named by Canadian Pacific Railway executives in the late 1800s for a British military victory in Kandahar, Afghanistan."
See, Mystereeoso? There IS a Kandahar in Saskatchewan.
Oh my! The PM needs to be mocked? to be castigated? to apologize? because he made a mistake?
Seen on a poster quite some time ago:
"Those of you who think you are perfect are really annoying to those of us who are." :-D
"I don't know why I said that. I have no idea," Harper said:-S
How's John Baird doing in Parliament these days?
That is who comes off better in this exchange, the Conservative MP or the EVIL LIBERAL FEMINIST?
There was across burning in Prince George. Hedy only got the country wrong. It was somewhere in the southern US.
The more Liberals talk the more inappropriate they show themselves to be. Let them keep talking all the way to the election.
Mystereeoso @ 9:46:00 AM:
"I don't know why I said that. I have no idea," Harper said:-S
What the PM said simply points out he admitted he had made a mistake, and he laughed it off, as did the audience.
You really must look in the mirror, dear one. To paraphrase John 8:7: Let he who is without fault cast the first stone.
Where in Wiki Mystereeosis did you pretend that you read "According to Wiki she was cleared." - it just doesn't say that.
Only an idiot would think she could vote twice in an election and although an official could tell her she is entitled to vote because she owns property nobody would tell her she could vote twice. It would appear she has a crooked streak when you vote twice - don't you think so? That aside that isn't the only problem she had in her political career - lots of shady things going on in her career - whether you can prove it or not is another kettle of fish - but smart people give her a wide berth except for some feminists.
Gabby, I'm not into scripture but you might interest Hunter in that bit you like.
Peter12, on Minna's Wiki page it reads:
The probe was reopened and she was subsequently cleared of any wrongdoing.
Mystereeoso @ 10:28:00 AM:
"I'm not into scripture but you might interest Hunter in that bit you like."
It appears you're not "into" much of anything, other than criticizing your hostess.
I haven't been around this blog long enough to know what has previously taken place between you two, but you seem to prefer attacking the hostess rather than the arguments presented.
As far as Ms. Minna is concerned, she appears to be a person who accepts defeat poorly, blaming others for whatever happens:
From the Wiki article you referenced:
“The York North nomination fight turned ugly amidst claims of delegate stacking and improper procedures.[5] Minna later appealed the nomination but withdrew the complaint claiming that the appeal process was tainted. …
Soon after, Minna was dropped from Cabinet during a ministerial shuffle.
Minna was bitter about the demotion and complained to the Liberal Party's women's caucus that she was told to keep quiet about the issue. She claimed she was "hung out to dry by ambitious individuals ..."
As a woman, I too object to the kind of tactics some of the women in Parliament use, all the while claiming to speak on my behalf. The argument often heard from those advocating a greater presence of women in politics is that the behaviour of parliamentarians would improve with increased female representation. The daily harangues hurled at their male Conservative counterparts by MPs like Ms. Minna, Ms. Bennett, Ms. Jennings, Ms. Dhalla, Ms. Fry, Ms. Black, Ms. Mathyssen, Ms. Davies et al. belie that. Those ladies do themselves and the women’s cause no honour by behaving the way they often do.
Gabbb, Hunter tells the story one way
and Maria Minna tells it differently . Just like you explained the pay equity issue to Liberal Supporter yesterday and I have seen it explained differently.
What I suggested to Hostess, I mean Hunter was that in light of her rather harsh and continuing criticisms of female parliamentarians, perhaps she could do a better job. I would sincerely like to see it happen. I think Hunter, that you should go for it.
"Those ladies do themselves and the women’s cause no honour by behaving the way they often do."
Gabby, your entire statement was brilliant as usual.
It should be strongly noted, had a male parliamentarian (I will leave partisanship out of this..) reacted so disrespectfully to a woman, it would have made an international headline, unquestionably....and we all know it.
Mystereeoso @ 12:03 pm:
"Just like you explained the pay equity issue to Liberal Supporter yesterday and I have seen it explained differently."
What I posted re: pay equity were not the ramblings of an obviously partisan blogger. I provided excerpts from the government's Economic and Fiscal Update, and the 2009 Budget.
Referring me to a blogger's site for a persuasive argument invalidates yours. I am sure that if I were to refer you to a conservative blog, you would hardly take that as the absolute incontrovertible truth.
Bec @ 12:15:00 PM, thanks.
You're absolutely right. It's regrettable some people resort to name-calling or heckling in order to make a point. I deplore those tactics, regardless of whether the one doing it wears boxers, jockeys, Stanfields, or Victoria's Secret.
"What do you suggest happened with PMSH and his flagvision problem?"
I would say this the Coalitions "flag flap" had some merit - why do you suppose the flags were set off to the side as far away from Gilly as they could get - was it a demand from him. The fact is - depending on the camera angle -there were no flags in several of the shots. It wasn't until the CPC made an issue of it that the media got together and produced the photos from the angle that showed the flags.
Like this one

but you seem to prefer attacking the hostess rather than the arguments presented.
Hunter doesn't like being attacked, but generally it is her statements that are attacked.
She does have a rule about ad hominem attacks on other commenters though. You know, stuff about limp wrists, and whiny voices? Some folks don't have confidence in their arguments so they have to call their opponents queer.
Queen Rania of Jordan is a shining example of a woman who is using her prominence for the good of truly oppressed women. She is an amazing woman of courage, intelligence and humanity. If I were to call any woman a true feminist, it would be Queen Rania. She is reasonable, rational, and to the point. All she wants is equality for oppressed women and she fights for it in a way which does not attack men. She is one admirable woman.
Here is her video to commemorate International Women's Day. What she says is worth hearing - and she did it without attacking a church.

Alberta Girl @ 12:56:00 PM, I recall watching that signing of coalition documents, and the thought went through my head at the time that there was nothing in the background - it was completely bare.
Then, after the PM mentioned it in the House, you're right, lots of file footage and photos emerged to prove there WAS indeed a flag there, but positioned more to the side near Jack Layton. Of course it was a deliberate attempt to discredit the PM, just as today's speech in Brampton is being branded as hiding from Canadians, or some similar nonsense, by the opposition.
AG and Gabby, we discussed it as it was happening, I recall.
Thanks AG for finding that link. Without the 'proof in the puddin' these accusations are endless and so very tiresome.
It was a known fact that Gilles Duceppe insisted the flag be off to the side. When have you ever seen a news conference from that room without the flag being a backdrop and in the center of the picture.
That was the first instance where Duceppe called the shot so the cameras had to go and find a flag in the picture.
It was a known fact that Gilles Duceppe insisted the flag be off to the side.
Well known? Could we see a link?
Gabby and friends, don't get too upset with the lefties, they just love my blog so much they can't resist sharing in the glow of the Conservative light!
As far as becoming an MP, Mystereeoso, I would love to do it, just to set some of those feminist hags straight, but I would hate to leave a better paying job just to bash some sense into weak opponents. Plus, Alberta is the place to be, not Ottawa.
Hunter @ 9:09:00 PM, no worries.
Although some of the comments can be frustrating, particularly when the same misinformation is repeated over again, I derive more amusement than anger from them.
Well Hunter, I see you have your ducks in alignment. Maybe one day MPs will be paid enough that you can get your wish and "set some feminist hags straight".
till then...
"Could we see a link?"
Gayle? Is that you, Gayle?
Although some of the comments can be frustrating, particularly when the same misinformation is repeated over again, I derive more amusement than anger from them.
Truer words were never spoken!!!
