Thomas Mulcair’s Temper on a Milk Carton

Famed NDP member of parliament Thomas Mulcair was in search of his temper this week after a minute long fracas in the house. Mulcair’s temper went AWOL after some heckling from the Tory side, specifically from Gerard Keddy.Thomas Mulcair - G.I. Joe

Mulcair was in the middle of explaining why a deportation order was in need of suspension when he flicked off like a light switch at the peanut gallery down the rows. “Climbing over rows of chairs”, and “spitting” almost as though Mulcair was going to “attack” said Keddy. Cooler minds prevailed (thankfully, we think) and not further incidents were recorded.

The famed part of Mulcair’s career comes from the fact that he is the NDP member in the once Liberal kingdom of Outrement. Made a co-Deputy leader of the NDP (move over Libby Davis) and used as a door-jam for any chance of NDP expansion in the province of Quebec, much has fallen on the shoulders of the newbie member and it’s starting to show.

While we believe that his temper was eventually found, we are looking forward to more desk and chair climbing from the member, a socialist G.I. Joe is a rarity anywhere, let alone Ottawa. The Wonk’s only advice, stay away from John Baird, you wouldn’t like him when he’s angry.
