\nSome of you may recall<\/a> Pat Martin’s noble quest to bring civility to Parliament:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is my new policy,\u201d Martin said, holding up a handful of party-coloured buttons he had made reading \u201cOpto Civitas.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI choose civility. That\u2019s the new me.\u201d<\/p>\n

He had 300 buttons made up in all party colours \u2014 including a green one for Green party MP Elizabeth May \u2014 and plans to hand them out when the House resumes sitting next week.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Martin never said anything about Twitter <\/a>though:<\/p>\n

NDP MP Pat Martin calls Tories \u2018rat faced whores\u2019 on Twitter<\/strong><\/p>\n

Outspoken NDP MP Pat Martin called the Conservative party \u201crat faced whores\u201d in a tirade on Twitter last night, reacting to being left out of a Tory infrastructure announcement in his riding.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not \u2018worked up\u2019 so much as \u2018fed up\u2019 with the rat faced whores in the CPC who neglect to invite me to ancemnts in my riding,\u201d he tweeted in response to a reporter\u2019s query.<\/p>\n

The MP for Winnipeg Centre rant began with him first expressing anger over the role of Vic Toews\u2019 involvement in Winnipeg\u2019s Youth for Risk project for at-risk youth that has received $3 million in federal funding.<\/p>\n

He began the tirade by expressing concerns of the First Nations that the \u201cbuilding was empty\u201d and that the money for the \u201cinner city youth went to \u2018Youth For Christ\u2019, who are Vic Toews\u2019 donors and buddies.\u201d<\/p>\n

But then the attacks became personal, as Martin began attacking the minister of public safety\u2019s personal life, including private details of Toew\u2019s divorce that were revealed on Twitter earlier this year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
