Mr. Speaker, Ezra Levant of Reform question period fame is a man of many words and unbridled optimism.
After a date last year in Toronto he was told his chances of a repeat encounter were a daunting one in a million. Ezra's response? “Yes, I have a chance. I have a shot”.
Five hundred roses and countless trips to Toronto later, Ezra got lucky. At 5 p.m. on Sunday, October 24 at Shaarei Tefillah Synagogue in Toronto, Ezra Levant and Golda Van Messel are to be joined in marriage.
Life in Toronto has changed Ezra a bit. He no longer snacks on steaks or chews on members of the Upper House. He now enjoys sushi and spends quiet afternoons doing arts and crafts.
People are still trying to figure out why Golda, a promising digital media specialist, has chosen Ezra as her mate, but future Speakers of this House should beware that one day there will be more Ezra Levants around here.
I invite this House to join the official opposition in wishing both Ezra and Golda all the very best in their new life together.
