Conservative Minister John Baird Has Paintings By Quebec Artist Removed And Replaced With Portraits of The Queen Of England!
I think the Conservative government sits up late into the night just thinking up ways to be idiots. Case in point .....
"Foreign service staff and art lovers are grumbling about new Minister John Baird's decorating tastes inside the lobby of his department. A pair of historic paintings by Quebec modern master Alfred Pellan were removed from their decades-old spot and replaced by a 2002 photo portrait of the Queen late last month."

No, it's a positively brilliant move, if you want to stick a thumb in the eye of everyone to the left of Genghiz Khan.
They are not insensitive because they are stupid; they are insensitive because they wish to insult and cause hurt. Watch for many, many more attempts, big and small, to piss off Quebec now that the Official Opposition has a strong base there.
