You're a stupid face!...no, you are...I know you are but what am I

Children, children, take it easy.
That is the message coming from Ontario Speaker Steve Peters to the rest of the provincial legislature because they are apparently acting like, well, children.
Now, it's no secret that politicians can be more catty and more immature than your average 12-year-old, but not often do you hear the Speaker come out and tell them to shut up and grow up.
Good advice, though.
Peters' quotes (in today's Sun) on the issue have been pretty funny too, with him saying "this does not in my view include the kind of schoolyard name-calling and derision that has become the trend of late."
He followed that up by saying that MPPs should not be talking about "booze cruises" and "bathroom breaks".
What the hell kind of conversation were they having when booze cruises and bathroom breaks came up? Amazing.
Watching a debate in the Ontario legislature, or in the House of Commons, has got to be one of the most ridiculous spectacles in the world. Seriously, it more often than not seems like our elected representatives would rather sling shit at each other than actually get anything accomplished.
And we wonder why the Canadian political scene has deteriorated into such a joke.
Hmm.
