Bruins 7 - Les Habs 0 ouch. That was a major surprise.

Souvy

I gave up before the end of the second. It was too painful to watch.

I see some boston player reckons the montreal player who got his head slammed into the glass recently is more or less faking the injury!

Souvy

It doesn't happen often. The last time they lost by a margin like that was in 1998 (9:2). The biggest thrashing before than was in 1974 (8:0).

All three hammerings courtesy of the Bruins.

How do you fake a fractured vertebra?

Almost Canadian

I know it is correct, but something just doesn't look right

I do not recollect the governments' headed by Pearson, P.E.T., Chretien, and Martin referred to as their government, as in the Harper Government.

The first time I heard the term Harper government was on the CBC following the election of the first Conservative government. It was clearly a derisive and sarcastic ploy designed to express the contempt of the main stream media to delegitimize the conservatives and Stephen Harper. Clearly it has succeeded and most have forgotten its origin.

Scandal! A scandal was Jean Chretien proroguing parliament in order to stonewall parliamentary inquiry into L'Affair Grand-Mere. For the record, Jean Chretien and P.E.T. prorogued parliament fifteen times.

A scandal was the parliamentary evasions of the Liberal government over the disappearance of $1 billion dollars of taxpayers money via the HRDC.

A scandal was the thuggish assault of Jean Chretien on a Quebec protester.

A scandal was the assault of the Horsemen on B.C. students (holding the students' eyes open and spraying mace into them).

A scandal was the revelations of the Gomery Inquiry.

A scandal was Liberal Francis Fox-then solicitor-general forging a signature and lying to parliament to procure an abortion for his girl friend.

A scandal was Michael Ignatieff calling our troops war criminals because they slapped a few grunting cave dwellers around.

Those are scandals.

Michael Ignatieff's assertion that the conservative government is in contempt of parliament over alleged non-disclosure of exact details of money bills is nothing more than a defective piece of rhetoric, supreme irony.

and so it begins in earnest... just watched the vote of no confidence being passed in the House of Commons, and the resulting statement by Harper that he will be asking the GG to drop the writ tomorrow for an election - presumably on 2 May.

I thought that commendable behaviour rather than a scandal. It raised my already high level of regard for the man.

Harper's hair, now that's a scandal.

Souvy

It gets worse. He's a Leafs fan and also has a wife with a shit name.

dbd33

I assume, given the Mormon hair, that he has other wives, perhaps some of them have better names.



Lest I be accused of making light of the thread subject, and the idea of the Harper government having a majority is certainly a grave one, my defence is that after "slapped a few grunting cave dwellers" all seriousness was lost.

Personally I didn't get past "the contempt of the mainstream media and their attempt to delegitimize the Conservative government".

On the hair: it's a Tory thing.

So what's the likelyhood of the situation being any different in the second week of May?
