Stephen Harper derides ‘disgraceful’ attack
The oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and the potential for a similar calamity off the coasts of this country were on the minds of both Liberals and New Democrats at the outset of Tuesday’s Question Period.

Liberal environment critic David McGuinty wanted to know why there is no protection plan for drilling in the Beaufort Sea.

And NDP Leader Jack Layton asked what action had been taken by the Conservative government since the explosion in the Gulf three weeks ago. He accused the National Energy Board, which is responsible for both regulation and environmental protection in the Beaufort Sea, of being an “industry friendly body” that recently considered requests from big oil companies to relax regulations on Arctic drilling.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper took Mr. Layton’s question as a slight against Canada.

Not only has his face changed, but any relation to Euclidean logic has gone overboard.

Look out for a "Jump The Shark" next.
