John Weston

Another Conservative speaks in support of Mark Warawa

The Commons: ‘So much for the Leader of the Opposition raising the tone of political debate in this place’

Aaron Wherry on who said what on July 1

Conservative MP John Weston apparently came to the conclusion last week that the government had failed in one particular way on C-38.

And why others are sitting in the back row of the House

This afternoon, like it had with Rob Merrifield last Wednesday and John Weston last Friday, the government sent John Williamson, the duly elected and relatively well compensated representative of the people of New Brunswick Southwest, to ask the Public Safety Minister about the views and actions of two NDP MPs in regards to the long-gun registry. Alas, before Vic Toews could read his part of the script, the Speaker stood to rule this out of order.

The long-gun registry split the NDP leadership contenders. Paul Dewar talked medical infrastructure. Nathan Cullen pitched energy policy. And Romeo Saganash explained how the NDP can grow.

Like Rob Merrifield earlier this week, here is the question Conservative MP John Weston asked this morning of the parliamentary secretary for the Minister of International Trade on behalf of his constituents in West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country.

This Hour Has 22 Minutes just yesterday uploaded to YouTube its skits from this season. Which is as good an excuse as any to post this.

And Rona Ambrose’s man-hating dog

Excluding those born outside Canada, the following Conservative MPs have lived, studied or worked outside the country.

As noted by one of our commenters, Conservative rookie John Weston was, by his own admission, educated at Harvard. What’s more, he worked for a time overseas. And he’s written a book.
