Canadian Government Official Languages Committee

What a waste of time. I'm so fed up with the Government's investigation of Shane Doan and what some Quebec MP still believes he said - despite being cleared by the NHL 17 months ago - that I decided to send an email to my Member of Parliament (MP), Garth Turner.

Here's what I wrote:

Mr. Turner,

I'd just like to send you a quick note to express my utter disappointment at the stupidity of the Canadian Government regarding the House of Common's Official Languages Committee's hearings on Shane Doan.

This is an extremely wasteful and utterly useless expenditure of tax payer's monies. No one in Canada cares one way or another about this investigation, except some irresponsible Quebec MP who is trying to make a name for himself. We have better things to do with our money than to go on a witch hunt of an individual who was completely EXONERATED by the NHL over 17 months ago! No one was able to corroborate the NHL Linesman's complaint that Shane uttered those words. Everyone there has said Shane didn't say what he's still accused of saying.

Reports (CTV.ca) say, "The committee said it fully supports the Canadian hockey team and is very proud of their endeavours but the issue needs to be resolved." THERE IS NO ISSUE!!!

Pure justification of their existence.

I'd like to know your thoughts about this matter and where you stand. I would hope you side with the vast majority of Canadians in believing this has been an embarrassment to the country and a waste of time and money.

Thank you for your time.


Come on Canada ... you're better than this!

Right on Hilander! I think we need to worry and concentrate more about the men and women we have sent to Afghanstan than to worry what one may have said (but did not)to another 17 months ago! I thought we were smarter than the that!
