Canadian MP bitches about marching "in goose step" with Americans | |
2001-09-22 | |
OTTAWA - There has been much talk this week of the spirit of bi-partisanship in the House of Commons, in the wake of the terrorist attacks. Hardly. This is what happened yesterday afternoon in a near-empty chamber: Pat Martin, an NDP MP from Manitoba, caused an uproar among Alliance MPs when he talked about Canada marching in "goose step" with the Americans. "We are hearing now from frustrated Americans that if Canada does not fall into a goose step with the United States in its current exercises they will re-consider allowing plants to continue manufacturing in Canada," said Mr. Martin.
