Early one winter while was living in the Yukon I found myself in the wrong
place at the right time during a social function.
As I exited a washroom stall I came face to face with a
burly man who was in the process of exiting the stall next to me.
This was long before unisex washrooms and I was extremely
put out that he had so violated my privacy.
Probably looking much like the Butterbrains stick figure I
like to draw, I put my hands on my hips and said frostily, "Well! I hate to tell you, but you are in the wrong
washroom!"
He looked at me and replied on his way out the door,
"Well I hate to tell YOU, but YOU are in the wrong washroom."
And I was.
Anyway it can happen.
And being in the wrong place at the right time happened to Lise St-Denis, MP
for Saint-Maurice-Champlain this week.
And she probably
hadn't had as much to drink as I'd had.
Like many Quebecers she fell in love with the dying Jack
Layton and agreed to let her name stand as an NDP candidate during the last
federal elelction.
But Jack has been gone for a few months and NDP policies
were not sitting easily on her conscience.
So she opted for our most honourable dishonourable
parliamentary practice, she crossed the floor.
To the Liberals.
