*points at Parrish and does Nealson voice*
HA-HA.

I mean, you can only go around acting like an idiot for so long. She was nothing more than a childish circus act, and I'm curious how she got re-elected. I doubt the other parties will move to "pick her up".

And, she has a slumppy neck. I hate to be shallow, but I absolutely can't stand that. I didn't like it on Joe Clark, and I don't like it on her.

Gee I'm shocked

It really should come as no surprise that she was dismissed - booted really - given her history of comments. Of course telling the PM (and her party leader) that he could pretty much "go f*ck himself" was just the icing on the cake.

What took them so long. That woman is rude, rude, rude.

Well she comes from an important riding... one that could easily switch to conservative; so keeping her made sense in that regard. Also lets not forget that the Liberals are a minority government so dismissing any member weakens what hold the party has - Parrish could resign, could be an independent, or cross the floor (don't see any other party accepting her though).

I'm just really confused as to why someone like her would feel the need to ruin her political career this way? If you want to be "noticed" ride a motorcycle.

The Star says that she's going to sit as an independent. I'm wondering how long that'll last...
