The Conservative foreign affairs minister demanded -- and got -- gold embossing on his business cards shortly after being shuffled into the portfolio last May, contrary to government rules.

    "Contrary to government rules." The government rules apply to all civil servants, from the mail room guy up. He's the frickin' MInister of Foreign Affairs. If he wants gold-embossed business cards, he can have gold-emobossed business cards. Jesus, is this seriously news? I mean, I can see with jets being used as commuter vehicles, but business cards? C'mon.

    And the other day, here in Kabul, it's the second leading story on the news that one hockey player called another player a fag. I tell ya, if that's the second biggest news story in Canada, we got it pretty good.

    (Edited for spelling).

    I think the issue is more that it is an unneeded expense and he removed some parts that go against federal policy (like dropping the "Canada" and "Lester B. Pearson Building").

    If you saw may facebook, you'd think the world was exploding over that. Fag is becoming more offensive, it's odd.

    Yet no mention of Avery repeatedly telling a guy he was going to kill him.

    I think we can all agree there are more important things going on in our country that need attention.

    Gold embossed business cards is the best scandal the Liberals can come up with against the Cons? :lol:
