CBC purports to be Canada’s news network. I get a lot of my news on-line and through newspapers. When I do watch the news I tend to stick to local news programs. Tonight I caught a pre-news ad for Rex Murphy‘s rant.

I quite enjoy both reading and hearing Rex Murphy’s Point of View. Tonight was no exception. His topic was the disgraceful display in the Canadian House of Commons where members of parliament boo’d Don Cherry. Grapes was acknowledged by the Speaker of the house as a distinguished visitor and jeered by members of the Block Quebecios and some Quebec Liberals.

Love him or hate him, there’s no denying that Grapes has an undying love for his country. He’s politically incorrect, grumpy, and occasionally says things that make me do a double take and scream “what?” at my TV. He’s he’s also patriotic, charitable, kind hearted, open, honest, straight forward, friendly, a long time supporter of the Canadian Forces, and someone who is not afraid to say that they love Canada (and why).

We often joke that our politicians behave no better than a bunch of elementary school bullies in the playground. Yesterday our members of parliament displayed once again how they’ve earned this reputation.

Full text of Rex’s reaction to yesterday’s events in Commons will be available here once posted.
