Relationship Advice: Ottawa Edition

"I'm sorry, I'll never do it again"

Six words every man needs to learn.

I'm not even married and I know how important these six words are to ensuring a good relationship.

Now last week, everyone's sweater toting Prime Minister made a couple boo-boo, big ones. He politicized an Economic Update. That was mistake #1, well then he went ahead and made mistake #2 by not apologizing.

It was more or less the political equivelent of forgetting your anniversary.

The next day after he attempted to knee-cap the opposition, Mr. Harper could have risen and said "Mr. Speaker, I'm Sorry, I'll never do it again". He could have even bought the three party leaders some flowers.

Instead of acting like an adult, he acted like a Child, and he got a childish response, and now we are in the midst of a political and perhaps constitutional crisis.

Is the Prime Minister the only one to blame? No. But if he wants to be our Prime Minister he should start acting like it. Sometimes that means admitting a mistake.

I think all of our political leaders need to have a girly drink with Carrie Bradshaw in Manhattan and have a good cry, and work it out.

Now for a solution, bring in another Union Government like we did during World War One. We are facing tough economic times, and we need the government working instead of bickering. However they aren't grownups, we elected Children.


I'm sure we'll see the Blue Sweater get pulled out of the dresser.
