Paul Martin Fires Carolyn Parrish!

She's entitled to her opinion of course, but she should have found more diplomatic ways of expressing them. More to the point, as a Member of Parliament she should have found constructive ways of making situations better instead of just pissing about them.

Good riddance.

Anybody know where I can get one of those George Bush dolls? I want to photograph him getting a BJ from his intern, Barbie. Then when he denies it under oath, the impeachment process can begin...

It's about time!

Everybody is entitled to their opinions but even young children express them with more maturity and class than her.

I expect much more from an adult especially one who is supposed to be representing her constituency and country.

She seems like she is an attention seeking drama queen to me.

I'm not a big fan of W but I can't stand this bitch!

She had it coming.

Her antics were tolerated by that idiot Chreten. Glad to hear Martin has some backbone

Yeah Paulie!!!! Good decision.

I hope he pointed at her across a boardroom table and said "You're Fired!"

But, as an indie she can still attend the sessions ... so, on the Day Bush gives the address, what will they do with her? I guess security will prevent her from entering the building ... it would be far better if they let her in, bound in a straightjacket and gagged ...

or let her make a fool of herself - might serve Martin and Bush both to have a foe in common.

If Martin had a backbone he would have done it a long time ago. She was darring him to do it.... So long you stupid bitch!

On a more serious note, she cannot be allowed anywhere near the POTUS. She exhibits signs of mental illness and I wouldn't take a chance of letting her do it palestine style.

Just what we need, the Secret Service wacking a Canadian MP, that would really help international relations.

Parrish is an embarassment to civilized discourse. Good freakin riddance.

Great
Now she has even more time to stalk Bush. The lady is a nutjob.

Why is it you righties think that anyone who says something against what you believe that they are mental ill. While Parrish should have been booted several years ago from the Liberal party, she has recieved several mandates from her riding that shows she has significant support despite her ramblings. I am unaware of any criminal threats she has made and your comment shows the ignorance and intolorence that some more extreme members of the right show to any challenges to their point of view.

Now I challenge you to define what signs she shows of mental illness, the type of mental illness that you feel Parish shows, if you can't then I suggest you keep your bigoted comments to yourself and stop pushing sterotypes.

I doubt she's really crazy, just mad, immature, undisciplined and fond of her image as a counter USA force. Tempest in a teacup. I don't know any Americans who know who she is or care.

Lat night on Global news, they sent a reporter to the street to ask people if they thought GWB is a "chief" or a "chump". The results are in, Chief 5 Chump 20.
(that is before the results are sent to florida for retabulation)

IMHO what Martin did was wrong.
Everybody has the right of free speech, should be allowed to criticise their leader and has the right to be stupid as well.
She was elected by her people even after she made her first comments, which tells me that her riding is supporting her position. Withe the high probability of a new election in Canada, the voter should decide her faith.

Some Canadians have asked me how an issue like that would play out in the USA. Since I am not American by birth and have only spend the last 17 years there I am not sure. I can't recall ever hearing about a D or an R being kicked out of a party, especially if he was elected.
I know there is some Americans here on this board I was curious to hear if they ever heard of such a thing.

Her riding is in support of the Liberal Party and that is why she was elected. The fact is that people in ridings are usually voting for the leader of the party and not the candidate. I'm sure some people will disagree with that, but I believe it to be true most of the time.

In my opinion Carolyn Parrish is an insignificant member of parliment who is trying to make a name for her self by being controversial rather than making an intelligent contribution. I believe in free speech, of course, but childish comments are not what we expect from elected officials. We should expect constructive remarks and ideas. My guess is she has none. If she expressed her opinions in a positive way, most people would respect them.

It will never happen, because the media loves this stuff, but the best thing to happen would be that no one shows up for her press conference this afternoon. Why feed her hunger for attention?

That's scientific but probably not far off, in the US you couldn't five out of 25 who knew who the PM of Canada was.
