What do Stephane Dion and Ezra Levant have in common?

| | |

Here's the answer, in English and French.

I believe in Parliamentary immunity from defamation -- otherwise MPs would be subject to a stream of nuisance suits every time they dared raise a controversial issue in the chamber. But the counterweight to that "absolute privilege", as its called in law, is that MPs are expected to be "honourable members" -- and not abuse that privilege. I regret that Raymonde Folco has yet to live up to her title.

Here, here, here, here and here are my five letters to her.

Oh well. I'm frustrated by Folco, but her silence on the matter will have to suffice as her admission that she was wrong. In that way I'm ahead of Dion -- I'm sure he wishes she's just shut up about him, too.
