And a lump of coal for you

Posted on | November 25, 2009 | Comments Off

Conservative MP (Member of Federal Parliament) Gerald Keddy will definitely be getting a BIG lump of coal this Christmas. The Nova Scotian MP put his foot in it when he refered to Halifax’s unemployed as “no-good bastards”.

He offered this apology:

“I would like to offer a sincere apology for remarks I made regarding the unemployed in Halifax. These comments were insensitive, and for that I am truly sorry … In no way did I mean to offend those who have lost their job due to the global recession, nor did I mean to suggest that anyone who is unemployed is not actively looking for employment.”

You forgot to add “it was a really, really stupid thing to say too”.
