I’ve spent a lot of time looking at the Charter. I think it’s time to talk about the people. I have questions. #lawtwitter /1

We need more Parliament-themed bars

@LawScribes Yup - in theory. In practice I think they should have been left well enough alone

@ParlCharlie Is this the continuations of the historical dramas 'Yes Minister' and 'Yes Prime Minister.'

Parliament nerd vacation continues with "I'm Sorry Prime Minister" - no spoilers, please! :p

On this day in Canadian parliamentary history - March 22, 1875: MP Charlton complains of the gas lighting system in the Commons and the "unwholesome stench that now poisons the Chamber"

If you ever think your legislature is having a bad day, this was a Monday in Texas in 1969

@Kapur_AK Fantastic acting on a weak story. Frustratingly underwhelming.

@ParlCharlie Eagerly anticipating your review

For World Poetry Day, a reminder from Hansard that some need to hear: "You are an expert on jam, but when it comes to poetry you are a failure!" Canada, House of Commons Debates, 17th Parliament, 5th Session, Vol 1, p 968.

Canadian parliament nerd sightseeing in London - the bridge opened by Canada's Prime Minister

Today's Canadian parliamentary history - March 21, 2000: A mistrial for the man who threw paint-filled balloons at the PM's office on Parliament Hill after the jury was shown news broadcasts that, inter alia, made mention of when the defendant was choked by the Prime Minister.

@Fffeisty Not being an author of the piece, I'll let them address their understanding of the Constitution's requirements... my comment is just that I would like the early Debates to be available online (et ce dans les deux langues) for 1875 to 1896.

@ParlCharlie It’s in the article in the section quoted from the Constitution. In French it says “procès-verbaux et journaux”. In English it says “Records and Journals”.

As someone who loves 🇨🇦 parliamentary history I hate that the early Canadian Senate debates are no longer online in either language because a French language version was never published. It should be published and both versions made available. 1/2

@Fffeisty Ehh, I believe I used the words debates? I am talking about the debates not the Journals :-)

@ParlCharlie The Journals of the Senate are the official record of Senate proceedings and are available online from 1867 in both official languages. Les “procès-verbaux” = les journaux. The Debates are not the official record of proceedings.

@duncsagar @donnadavidson89 Sorry to miss you as well!! Luckily, @donnadavidson89 was a delight -- she put up with my arcane queries and answered expertly :)

@ParlCharlie I was sorry to miss you yesterday Charlie but glad you got the merch (thanks @donnadavidson89)

When you want to set the mood for a romantic evening...

@collinwood_j @joececchini ... This has taken several turns I was not expecting

@joececchini @ParlCharlie LOLOLOLOL

2/2 Read the remarkable story in Canadian Parliamentary Review here: #Destroying__Foul_and_Filthy__Committee_Eculiar_Private_Bill_and_a_Senate_Scandal" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">canlii.org/en/commentary/…

On this day in Canadian parliamentary history - March 20, 1888 - introduction of the first divorce bill alleging impotence, leading to a parliamentary genital exam of a "dwarf" And that's not all! 1/2

@collinwood_j I'm listening... 🤣

@ParlCharlie Unironically, I’d marry a guy who was into this. 😂
