I don't wish to sound flippant, but we must pay a certain price for being grown-ups. To use the unpleasant, popular phrase, grown-ups don't spend 24 hours whining and complaining and moaning and being victims. Grown-ups in a democracy, in my view, should be tough and robust.
I do have a tendency to speak my mind firmly and directly, which I think, out of respect for the Parliament of Canada, it is my obligation to do.
