Parliamentarians at All Time Low


This is sickening.


The Conservative National Caucus Chairman is a sociopath named Rahim Jaffer. He has been an MP from Edmonton for 10 years now.


Some years ago, scheduled to be interviewed on CKNW radio, he had an employee take the call and claim that he was Jaffer.


In spite of that detestable behaviour, which thoroughly speaks to Jaffer's lack of character, the idiots of Edmonton has sent him back to Ottawa again and again.


In Ottawa, Jaffer enjoys celebrity status, dressing beautifully, being photographed with his MP girlfriend and maintaining his public image for style and panache.


And we wonder why our governance has sunk to an all-time low.

"Jaffer enjoys celebrity status, dressing beautifully, being photographed with his MP girlfriend and maintaining his public image for style and panache". Well David I couldn't agree with you more. He is pandering [quite successfully] to the people that tune to E Channel for their News Of The World, and watch The Flintstones, believing it to be a Documentry! The Electorate reap what they sow, unfortuanately there never seems to be a crop failure! Cheers.....

Master of the sound bite is one thing, to master the sound of nothing and have it called "style and panache" is a true artform.

Jaffer is an artiste par excellence and has managed to maintain his MP seat with his version of smoke and mirrors.

Sadly it is a testament to the utter futility of our electoral system that he is now in a position of real power and has never really been preparing for it.
