The story takes a worse turn. An image of the naked MP has shown up on the internet. Since the video feed was not public, only available to MPs and staff, that meanbt that a government official took a picture. That is a potentially criminal offence. A Bloc Quebecois MP has now admitted taking a screen shot, but has not explained how it got uploaded. He’s apologised to the House and is awaiting the Speaker’s ruling on his conduct. However, there are calls for a criminal investigation by the police, since it is offence to take an intimate photo of a person without their consent. > **[Canadian Lawmaker Apologizes for Taking Nude Photo of Colleague (Published 2021)](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/21/world/canada/william-amos-nude-zoom-call-.html?action=click&algo=bandit-all-surfaces-decay-decay-02&block=trending_recirc&fellback=false&imp_id=81414132&impression_id=09279620-a3a6-11eb-acac-156464fabec4&index=0&pgtype=Article&pool=pool%2F91fcf81c-4fb0-49ff-bd57-a24647c85ea1®ion=footer&req_id=517209693&surface=most-popular-story&variant=1_bandit-all-surfaces-decay-decay-02)** > > It was not immediately clear what sanctions, if any, Sébastien Lemire would face after he acknowledged taking a nude photo of William Amos during a Zoom call. ---

If the Zoomee was feminine, this might be a storm in a B cup. And not a tempter in a toupee. ---

I was hoping the > [@Princhester](#): > > … Honourable Member of the Honorouble Member of Parliament … represented a constituency in Newfoundland or Labrador or such.

Gives new meaning to the phrase “screeched in”? ---

Must be a Canadianism (or something for the young hip folks); I’ve never heard of it. ---

Newfoundlander initiation rite: you have to kiss a codfish and take a shot of Screech (Newfoundland dark rum) to be considered an honorary Newfoundlander. ---

Screech is rum of such low quality that connoisseurs make fun of it. I think you have to kiss a cod to become an honourary Newfoundlander and Labradorian. Dog help you if you have to kiss a cod piece. ---

So you kiss the cod(piece) to kill the taste of the Screech you just swallowed. I can see that. ---

Other way around, when I’ve seen it done. Seal flipper pie and scrunchions are a much better initiation, in my opinion. ---

First Caesars and now scrunchions. Y’all are an amazing lot. I mean that in a _good_ way. 🙂 ---

Mrs P and I once overheard the following exchange between a Saskatchewanian on her first trip to Newfoundland and a waitress in a restaurant in St John’s: Saskie (looking at menu: “what are scrunchions?” Waitress: “Pork rinds” Saskie: “how are they cooked?” Waitress: “Deep-fried in pork grease.” Saskie: “so they’re pork rinds, deep-fried in pork grease.” Waitress: “Yes. They’re very good, piping hot.” Saskie: “I’ll have the salad.” ---

I’m not sure they differ that much from chicharrones, which can indeed be scrumptious. ---
