arrogant lil fucker, ain't he ?

Oh my God, it's horrible. And to think, he made a mistake and then apologized for it. It's unforgivable! 
I mean, like what good Tory would apologize. Must not be P.M. material if he apologizes for mistakes.

Wonder if he got tickets for blowing those stop signs.

No need to worry, I am sure Raoul Gebert will pay for them out of a secret slush fund.

The fact remains that Mulcair did break the law by deliberately driving through multiple stops signs. The stop signs are not there just for looks, everyone has to stop, including the leader of the opposition.

I could understand him driving through the checkpoint without stopping, if that's been the regular procedure for him, but to keep going when they came after him and then to give them attitude when he finally stopped... pretty elitist behaviour for the leader of the proletariat.

I'm not defending the guy, 'cause his actions seem pretty arrogant, but it depends where the stop sign is. You don't have to obey stop signs on private property, like in mall parking lots and such. Not sure where these signs were that Mulcair burned, but if they're on parliament property, not on city streets, he can't be charged for running them. Stop signs on private property are suggestions, not laws.

Oh my God, just horrible! How could he ...like...really...break the law. I mean EVERYONE knows only ELITES break the traffic laws!

All I know is that everymen don't away with such blatent bullshit, regardless of politics. He broke the law. Worse still, he was arrogant and tried to use his title to subvert what the rest of us can not escape. And, apparently, it worked. What a respectable victory.

I was under the impression Parliament Hill sat on Crown Land. It's not private property in the same sense that a shopping mall is.
