Canadian Federal Electoral Countdown: 1 year, day to day.
Paul Calandra, and the art of not answering the question
Well, if you haven't seen it yet, Paul Calandra answered a question on the Canadian deployment in Iraq by accusing the NDP leader, Thomas Mulcair, of not supporting Israel:

While people were surprised by his terrible exchange with Mulcair, it isn't the first time Calandra gaffe on Parliament hill.
Here's a video of him trying to evade a question asked by Marc Garneau on the Duffy Scandal, twice : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7m4u6lv59I
The Conservative Party of Canada have some great MPs, but Calandra isn't one of them. Oakridge-Markham is one of those riding that can swing both ways, either Liberal or conservatives, I hope the conservative have the decency to nominate someone else in the riding.
