[quote]When Conservative MP Michelle Rempel accused the government of treating the province of "Alberta like a fart in the room" over jobs, Green Party leader Elizabeth May took exception. [/quote]
[quote]"I heard her say a word I know is distinctly unparliamentary, and I think she may want to withdraw it," the shocked Ms May said.
"The word was f-a-r-t," she continued, spelling it out clearly so as not to repeat the offending term.[/quote]
[quote]"Decorum is important, and respect is important in this place," she scolded.
Unsurprisingly, the row has caused great hilarity on social media - especially in light of the political upheaval taking place just across the border.[/quote]

My taxpayer dollars at work.
Ms May and suck my farts
I wish I lived in a country where that warranted scandal.
this is worse than the time trudeau stuck his weenus into an NDP lady
I actually would welcome this discussion in my government. People need to understand that farting is just another form of pollution; one that ultimately contributes to global warming.
Meanwhile in Australia they regularly curse the ever living shit out of each other in parliament.
is fart really a dirty word? or is it the concept of releasing intestinal gas that's offensive?
meanwhile in america

[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;51396890]Fart means speed in good languages idk what you guys are arguing about[/QUOTE]
It's not the fart that kills, it's the smäll
[QUOTE=meek;51396982]is fart really a dirty word? or is it the concept of releasing intestinal gas that's offensive?[/QUOTE]
pretty sure yeah, at least around here.
not dirty, just rude. More acceptable to say "passing gas".
this kind of shit is just fucking retarded.
Passing gas, fart, does it matter? It's still the same concept. Using a word as a euphemism for another word doesn't actually make it more acceptable, but somehow we're stupid enough to let it fool us.
Why is this country such a fucking joke?
fartgate
waterfart
Ottawa has gone too far, I say we rise up against this corruption!

Drain the Lake, eh!
shouldve thought before she started throwing out the f word
No more of this shit. You gotta have standards when using words. Why does anyone think fart is an appropriate word in politics? Who voted this in? Who seriously thinks this is a good idea?

Of course it's the green party. I just has to be the green party.
You'd think the green party would have a lot in common with the word fart.
I think a better word would be "Shit" instead, sounds much less offensive.
that's funny to hear that from a representative from a Green Party cuz our only Green MP Caroline Lucas has a reputation for regularly not giving much of a fuck for parliamentary decorum
Pfft, lightweights. Let me know when you've moved on to "jiggery-pokery" and "pure applesauce".
I'm still waiting for Justin to fuddle duddle.

Haha right? Maybe not so extreme that we freak out when they say fart but Jesus Christ someone who openly mocked a disabled person, arm flapping and all, became president.

yeah i totally agree, but that's our culture
She reinforced the conservative MP's point excellently but I'm kind of wondering why she would. Greens are usually a little bit further left than that aren't they?

No joke, they call each other cunts on live television

I remember when the word fart was banned in elementary school. Apparently they want those days to return again. :v:
