Garth Turner is a Canadian politician. Quick, someone remind him!



Main Story

Garth Turner can't seem to figure out what country he's in:

Some people who actually work for a living, and don’t adle their brains watching CSPAN [sic] all day, have asked if there is video available of my remarks to the House yesterday on income trusts.

Well, my flock, you need only ask once. Here it is. (Video should be be live shortly.)

C-SPAN is, of course, the American cable service that televises political events, Congressional debates, and so on. CPAC is an entirely different entity that provides a similar service to Canadians.

A Canadian MP (Liberal Party) who can't tell the difference between C-SPAN and CPAC?

Who's the idiot now?

Good thing I captured that screenshot. Garth Turner has a habit of making significant changes to his blog posts and pretending it never happened:
