In recent times however, it's mostly turned into a practice of avoiding the question, or using some tactic to turn the question around and blame the opposition. Usually the question, if politically damning enough, is just ignored or the response would make children in a schoolyard jealous at the poetic nature of the taunts.

Typically one-sided of you.

Question Period is a joke on both sides of the floor.

The questions are rarely about pressing issues at hand but rather questions to score political headlines and points. Questions asked are rarely replied to with an answer but rather some pre-written crap.

How biased you seem to be, considering I didn't single out one side or the other as being childish.

But yet, it's perfectly fine with you that Dying with Dignity loses charitable status, but Porta Thoughties that are backed by US funds are fine because they agree with Government dogma.

Sure you did....your entire response was aimed at the Conservatives avoiding questions, ignoring questions, taunting, etc.

I'm perfectly fine with anyone breaking the rules losing their status, regardless of their political leanings.

Because the Government are the ones being asked the questions, they don't get to ask them during 'Question Period', only the Opposition parties do. That's kind of the definition. I did not say only the Government was taunting. And, you do know the difference between the CPC and the Government, right?

Why not just wear your bias on your sleeve?

You clearly know what QP is about...on both sides of the floor. Just interesting you only highlighted the one half when both sides are equally nasty.

I believe I do. So what?

Again, I did no such thing. But your bias seems to be with anything I post that is negative to the CPC. I wish they would stop giving me so much material, and get on with the job they were sent there to do.

Post specifically where you mentioned the actions of the opposition within your post.

I didn't, because Stratos was asking about Question Period. Post specifically where I say the opposition aren't the same whiny children that the Government is.

Absence of something is not evidence of it, unless you are specifically biased to assume that criticism of one is complimentary of the other.

Again, you did only highlight one half of the antics in QP. Absence of it doesn't mean you support it, but you claimed you didn't only highlight one side then admitted to such a post later.

Wow this has turned into one of those Question periods that Canada's parliament does. Thank you all for the example

So, you are saying you can't comprehend the things you wrote? You asked me to quote something I didn't say, then say it's proof that I really meant the opposite?

Anytime. Now you know how the Government responds to the Opposition, just by reading OTI's posts.

Don't trip on yourself while back-peddling.

Just wear your stripes on your sleeve. I know it's not popular right now to be lefty with the slim-pickings on the other side of the House but it's better than running around pretending to impartial.
