I am a criminologist and since 1975, I have addressed the United Nations conferences on justice and human rights 15 times in Europe, Africa, South America and Asia. I am the precursor of the United Nations bill of rights for young offenders and my latest speeches on the rights of children were in Bangkok and Lima in April 2005 and in Brussels 2006. I brought in a law in Canada that compensates innocent people sent to prison and another law that makes it a requirement on the part of police officers to provide persons arrested by the police at any time of the day or night, the phone number of a lawyer who will give them free legal advice over the phone. Think of my blog as a reader's digest. What I write in my blog is strictly my opinion.

This member of parliament insulted Americans

There were a lot of complaints against this member of parliament, mostly from her consitituents who claimed that she never returned their calls. This letter went to her on November 15, 2004. Because the leader of her party was upset at her conduct, he dumpted her from the party and she was foreced to sit as an independent. She didn't make it through the next election.

Carolyn Parrish
Independent MP Hous of Commons Ottawa, Ontario

Dear Ms. Parrish:

The prime minister beat me to the punch. He removed you from his caucus before I had a chance to write him and suggest to him that he do just that.

I have been around for a great many years and I have read about MPs who acted like you but I thought that as the years went by, they were flushed down the toilet and the new ones were of a better caliber. I was wrong. I am now convinced that there will always be politicians who in their best moments, are buffoons. Politicians such as you have about as much credibility as a Nigerian scam artist ---- no-one will take you seriously unless he or she is hopelessly stupid.

I don’t care what your views are about Americans but as a member of parliament, you would have been better off directing your thoughts to matters of greater concern to Canadians and your constituents than President Bush and the American people.

You had an opportunity to serve your constituents as a member of one of the Canadian political parties but as a disgraced Independent, you will get about as much support from the government or the other political parties as a broken down bridge gets in a storm surge. For this reason, I strongly doubt that your role as a parliamentarian will go beyond your first term. Since your role as a parliamentarian has been reduced to a nothing, the honourable thing for you to do is to resign your seat so that you can be replaced by someone else who deserves the position and who can serve his or her constituents.

But judging from your conduct thus far, you will hang in there like a dirty rag old rag fluttering in the storm around you and continue to open your mouth and make sounds that to the ears of everyone who hears you, are no different that that of the breaking of wind.

Yours truly


Dahn Batchelor
