What a breathtaking spout of free-associating bloviation. What an epic ramble.

Just one more chance for carefully focus-grouped, insincere, pompous PR that further reduces our ability to control politicians.

Anyway,

“the more important speech from the government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper may actually have been given early in the morning Wednesday on the other side of the world. While Gov. Gen. David Johnston gave his big speech on Parliament Hill late in the afternoon, Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver was speaking early Wednesday morning at the World Energy Congress in Daegu, South Korea. There, Oliver was talking about an issue vital to Canada’s long-term prosperity: Finding new customers for our energy products

‘Liberals support the drug trade’: PM skips first question period, Tory MPs take over attack | National Post
“Nobody has forgotten about Mike Duffy, Nigel Wright and the scandal that has engulfed the prime minister,” Trudeau said. “Why was there not a single measure in the Throne Speech to raise the bar on openness and accountability.”

Poilievre said Trudeau “should have read the Throne Speech because he would have seen listed there was our plan to ask the Supreme Court for a legal instruction manual on reforming the Senate.”
