There Are Many Facts About #elbowgate That Most People Are Ignoring (Or Are Ignorant About)

I’ll start with a “disclaimer fact” before I get to my real list of facts about #elbowgate. I’m on record as saying I don’t like *any* of the childish shit that happens in Parliament from any party and wish it wasn’t that way.  I also think the NDP reaction to this situation was very poor from […]
