Canadian MP should have followed my Zoom advice

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

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.

If the Zoomee was feminine, this might be a storm in a B cup.

And not a tempter in a toupee.

23

I was hoping the

represented a constituency in Newfoundland or Labrador or such.

Would give us me room to make a joke about the importance of codpieces while discussing cod-related fisheries legislation.

Alas, the HMHMP represents a slice of suburban Ottawa.

24

Gives new meaning to the phrase “screeched in”?

25

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

26

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

27

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.

28

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

29

Other way around, when I’ve seen it done.

Seal flipper pie and scrunchions are a much better initiation, in my opinion.

30

First Caesars and now scrunchions. Y’all are an amazing lot.

I mean that in a good way. :slight_smile:

31

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.”

32

As one of the USA’s elder statemen of celebrity chefery puts it

33

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

34

He Ottawa clothes when he’s got his camera on.

35

Unless he’s trying to show Peace Tower to the tourists.
