A conservative OPINION blog --with bite. OPINION by Joel Johannesen.

NDP’s Mathyssen continues to live up to the “you’ve got to be kidding” party’s moniker.

Written by Joel Johannesen on Wednesday January 23 2008 at 10:46 AM

image Good column by Ian Gillespie at the London Free Press today highlights what I would call the dangerous, hysterical, alarmist, illogical, perhaps even deceitful stupidity of the NDP’s Irene Mathyssen.  Unfortunately, Gillespie failed to identify her as a member of the NDP.  No worries:  I’ll help fill the gap.  She’s a socialist.

This is the same Irene Mathyssen who hysterically attempted to slime a good Conservative MP recently for viewing “pornography” in the House of Commons.  He was showing a fellow MP a picture of his dog playing with his girlfriend.  After sliming him and smearing him publicly in the House, she later saw fit to apologize.  (See my blog entry entitled “NDP woman rises on point of order: I’m a moron”.  And a follow-up here). 

Mathyssen is also the one who, as the you’ve got to be kidding party’s critic for “the status of women”, infamously said last September that women in Canada “are now under attack economically, socially and politically.”

Mathyssen is also the one who infamously tried, in February of last year, to hand deliver a Valentine’s Day heart-shaped box — containing not chocolates but a scathing, critical “poem” all about “womens’ rights” or the supposed lack thereof in this oh-so oppressive nation — directly to the personal residence of Prime Minister and Mrs. Harper.  She was turned away by security.  Probably men. Damn men.  Probably straight men.  Damn homophobes.

Protesters on wrong track on this one

The protest was organized by a group called Students Against Queer Discrimination, and much of its pique was focused on question No. 18 on the form everyone fills out when they want to donate blood: “Male donors: Have you had sex with a man, even one time since 1977?”

The protesters believe this question discriminates against gay men. Local MP Irene Mathyssen apparently agrees, since she joined the protesters and asked, “Why on Earth would we ever allow homophobia?”

Here’s a news flash for Mathyssen and those protesters: This isn’t homophobia. It’s life-and-death common sense.

It would appear Mathyssen and the protesters have never heard of a little something called the Krever inquiry, a 10-year criminal probe into Canada’s worst preventable public health disaster.

[...]

“Scientific evidence says the highest-number of HIV-infected (people) are men who’ve had sex with another man,” says Cindy Graham, regional communications manager, Southern Ontario, with Canadian Blood Services. “It’s close to 40 per cent.
