MacKay faces resignation call

[CHIMO]

There was a call for Defence Minister Peter MacKay’s head in Question Period today – the first demand for his resignation from the opposition since allegations of torture and abuse of Afghan detainees blew up on the Conservative government.

There were more calls for a public inquiry and one profanity was uttered – “bullshit” mouthed Laurie Hawn, the parliamentary secretary to the Defence Minister – as the Bloc asked more questions about the alleged torture of prisoners transferred by Canadian soldiers.

It is clear this story is not going away.

“The minister has on nine separate occasions told the House there is not a scintilla of evidence of mistreatment event as the entire country was shown evidence that torture did take place,” NDP defence critic Jack Harris charged. “Canadians no longer have confidence in this minister. … will he resign?”

Off with his head! Well not really. Would be unparliamentary. Put him out to pasture.

The sleaze.
