You know Grapes, we're talking a lot about respect these days, and Brian Burke was going on about how rats are taking over the league, on account of there being no tough guys to sort them out...
DON CHERRY
I agree with Burke 100%!
RON MACLEAN
...but I seem to remember you had your own rat epidemic, as was shown on "Keep Your Head Up, Kid" and you had to exterminate them for Rose.
DON CHERRY
Those were mice. The league doesn't have a mouse problem, it's got a rat problem. Big difference.
RON MACLEAN
So I'm wondering how you see that in the House of Commons...Tony Clement was musing on Twitter about how your views on rats got him thinking..
DON CHERRY
Clement was where?
RON MACLEAN
On Twitter.
DON CHERRY
You know, I'm starting to think he's part of the problem not part of the solution. But yeah, the House of Commons has a huge rat problem. I read somewhere they have the same problem in Britain.
RON MACLEAN
I thought you might see it that way. Got some examples for us?
DON CHERRY
Almost too numerous to mention. There was the Bev Oda "NOT" incident...
RON MACLEAN
Yes...
DON CHERRY
The Jason Kenney - George Loudmouth Galloway Immigration incident...
RON MACLEAN
Yes...
DON CHERRY
The Peter McKay helicopter incident...
RON MACLEAN
Yes...
DON CHERRY
The Rob Nicholson intimidation of witnesses incident...
RON MACLEAN
Yes...
DON CHERRY
The Peter Kent "piece of shit" incident...
RON MACLEAN
Yes, but that was Justin Trudeau calling Peter Kent a piece of shit...
DON CHERRY
Yeah, well, Trudeau was calling him out. It's a rat move by Kent and I have no doubt Trudeau would have taken him on, given the chance, like happened during an incident of "grave disorder" in the British House of Commons...
RON MACLEAN
That was where a Major Molson (no relation) hauled a Mr. Devlin, representing the Falls Road in Belfast, over the front bench as members of Molson's party shouted "kill him!"
DON CHERRY
Exactly. That's the kind of honourable players we need in this day and age, like Burke said. And yet he has to send Colton Orr back to the minors just because the guy can't play hockey...
RON MACLEAN
So that's it for us on House of Commons Night in Canada...
DON CHERRY
What did you think of the Marchand suspension?
RON MACLEAN
I think Shanahan got it right.
DON CHERRY
Kenny Linseman didn't.
RON MACLEAN
Well, Kenny was the original rat.
DON CHERRY
Not like Eddie Shore...
RON MACLEAN
Who is?
