With recent soldier deaths in Afghanistan, the threat of global warming, and a myriad of other issues facing Canada, what has our government's collective knickers in a knot? None other than the reprehensible act of Conservative Peter McKay alluding that ex-girlfriend Belinda Stronach is a dog. Naturally, the NDP want a resignation, the Liberals want a tearful apology, and the Bloc want him killed.
But hold on a sec. What is wrong with the label: "dog"?
Behold these examples taken from normal English language discourse:
"She's a hard worker! She's been working like a dog all week to get that proposal done."
"Check her out, dude. She's a total fox!"
"That reporter is a total bloodhound, her articles are my favourite."
"She's really nice. Its only her bark that's worse than her bite, once you talk to her, you'll see."
"Pretty fancy snowboarding, there. Wish I could hot-dog like that!"
I can think of another word that is far worse for a modern day woman to be called. Can you guess the word I'm thinking of? Here's a clue...

Now, I'll freely admit that I didn't completely follow this issue in the media as it just didn't seem worth my time. However, if I'm not mistaken, isn't this the very same Peter McKay who had an affair with this "dog" before she switched teams (political, not, um, you know)? Maybe Peter just needs to go and find his own hockey player to "spend time" with.
Agreed. He's a little "too close" to his dog. Then again, he's a maritimer, isn't he?
