422...Seven Nastiest Insults From The Commons

Yet my favourite, Pierre Trudeau's "Fuddle Duddle", said to the collective opposition in the House of Commons, back in 1971.

Nonetheless the list of seven, from Clips, is listed below.

  1. "Sleazebag" - Former MP John Reynolds, to Liberal MP Joe Volpe. (2005).
  2. "F--ing bastard." - Former prime minister Brian Mulroney, to former Liberal MP David Walker (1991).
  3. "Slut" -- Former Conservative MP Bill Kempling, to Liberal MP Sheila Copps (1991).
  4. "Quiet down, baby." - Former conservative minister John Crosbie, to Copps (1985).
  5. "You are one bitch," - former Reform MP Ian McClelland, to Copps (1997).
  6. "The honourable member from Snakeville," Former governor general and justice minister, Ray Hnatyshyn, to Liberal MP John Nunziata (mid-1980s).
  7. "Little chubby little sucker," Former Reform MP Darrell Stinson, to then Conservative leader Jean Charest (1997).
  8. "Sambo" -- Conservative MP Jack Shields, to NDP Howard McCurdy, then the only black MP in the Commons (1991).

I am proud to note that Sheila Copps is the reciever of three of the seven. Way to go Sheila!

I am not so proud to note that there are eight, as in 8, insults and yet the headline I was sent said seven, as in 7. Canada Day hangover I suppose.
