Tony Clement Doesn't Know When To Shut Up

Somebody needs to take Health Minister Clement out behind the woodshed and give him a clearer understanding of what the word ethics means.

"I find the ethical considerations of supervised injections to be profoundly disturbing."

Hold it right there, Mr. Clement. Are you a doctor? Have you got any background at all in medical ethics, or even basic medicine? I thought not.

"We specifically take issue with the minister using that phrase," Dr. Day told reporters after Mr. Clement's speech.

"The minister was off base in calling into question the ethics of physicians involved in harm reduction.

"It's clear that this was being used as a political issue."

Bingo. Not that anyone should be surprised - it's hardly the first time Harper's puppets have substituted ignorance and bluster for actual thoughtful reasoning.
