LONDON -- Donald Trump just won a controversial election in the United States. Marine Le Pen is Bollywood Archivesgaining traction in France. Women in Saudi Arabia are participating in elections for the first time ever.

The world is ablaze with historic political events.

Meanwhile, in Canada, the word fart is on the parliamentary agenda.

The fart talk arose from a debate surrounding the implementation of a carbon tax in the House of Commons.

In the midst of an impassioned speech about the tax's impact on her constituents, conservative MP Michelle Rempel posed the question, "Why does the government treat Alberta like a fart in the room that nobody wants to talk about or acknowledge?"

Green MP Elizabeth May replied, "I hate to interrupt my friend in her speech, but I heard her say a word that I know is distinctly unparliamentary, and I think she may want to withdraw it.

"The word was f-a-r-t."

From there, the debate broke out into a discussion on dealing with "unparliamentary language" to which Assistant Deputy Speaker Anthony Rota of the liberal party helpfully provided some mediation:

"There are times in the chamber when passion takes over, things get heated, and sometimes we say things that are out of order or that may not be parliamentary.

"The honorary member said a couple of things that were borderline, but it is up to her to decide whether they were unparliamentary. Someone took offense. I will take it under advisement and bring it back to the table, and we will go from there."

TBH, we're gonna have to suggest everyone add this to the "pro" column in the ongoing "move/don't move to Canada" debate.
