Green Party Leader Elizabeth May put forward a bizarre petition in the House of Commons Wednesday asking the government to support a popular 9/11 conspiracy theory.
"Declining to present �9/11 truther� petitions isn�t unprecedented. In October 2012, a group called �ReThink911� said they presented a petition to NDP Foreign Affairs Critic Paul Dewar. According to the group�s website, Dewar refused to submit the petition to Parliament."
She thought it was important to present the petition... Tinfoiler....nutbag in the closet.

So, Dewar didn't do his job, and that is OK. But May does her job, and that is wrong?
MPs are there to represent the people that elected them. Good on Ms. May for being objective, ignoring her personal opinions and doing what her constituents ask her to do.
The Fall Parliamentary session is about to wrap up, and all she is doing is trying to get some face time on TV so that the few that support her can feel good and say "yeah, we're making a difference."
I wonder if she's willing to submit other petitions, such as for investigations into the fake moon landing, the climate change conspiracy, and if PM Harper is actually an American Vampire.
More like this is May confirming her own status as a fringer, just like when she was caught at a rally in front of a Hezbollah flag and when she caused a schism inside the Greens when she labelled Canadian troops in Afghanistan as criminals and murderers. She's just another demented fringer to the fucking core, just like the other meatheads who put their names on the Truther petition are. Up next she'll present a Birther petition because some other basement-dwelling tin-hatter fucktards also need 'to have their voices heard'. Fer fucks sake.....

If you submit a petition like that to Parliament, each and every petitioner probably ends up on an RCMP "Suspicious Cuckoo" list and they start files...
She has obviously spent too much time in BC. Who knew she was a tinfoiler nutbag?
Didn't read the story again JJ?

She thought it important to be the representative of her constituents and fulfill her oath to execute the duties of her office without reservation.
I've done lots of shit I never agreed with, too. But that was the job and I did it.
I'd say you folks have on your hands that rare politician who does the right thing. I don't give a damn her party affiliation; this one's a keeper.
give her a chance at forming govt and she'll go the road the rest do - sell their grandmothers to maintain power.
You don't give the politcal class enough credit, my friend. I dare say many of them would their grandmothers to maintain power.

My thoughts exactly. She's a few fries short of a Happy Meal, and her making it to Parliament was a fluke and a half.
