"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2682641\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the government is starting to unravel. On Tuesday, the member for <a data-HoCid=\"170502\" href=\"/politicians/larry-miller/\" title=\"Larry Miller\">Bruce\u2014Grey\u2014Owen Sound</a> apologized to the House for comparing the long gun registry to Adolf Hitler. Unfortunately, we now know that apology was fake.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2682642\" data-originallang=\"en\">In a story printed this morning, the member repeated and firmly defended his Nazi comparison. He told a reporter he only partially retracted his comments and went on to say, \u201cthe similarities between the two are very clear and you can\u2019t convince me of otherwise...what I said was the truth\u201d. Canadians know that comparing a political opponent to the man who murdered millions is despicable and offensive to victims of the Holocaust.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2682643\" data-originallang=\"en\">With the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> out of the country less than a week, the wheels are already coming off the Conservative caucus bus. Talking about abortion, capital punishment, torture and now Adolf Hitler are not the priorities of Canadian families. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2682644\" data-originallang=\"en\">To quote a true leader's words, \u201cWhat is going on over there?\u201d</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2682641\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le gouvernement commence \u00e0 se montrer sous son vrai jour. Mardi, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"170502\" href=\"/politicians/larry-miller/\" title=\"Larry Miller\">Bruce\u2014Grey\u2014Owen Sound</a> a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 ses excuses \u00e0 la Chambre pour avoir fait un lien entre le registre des armes d'\u00e9paule et Adolf Hitler. Nous savons malheureusement aujourd'hui que ces excuses n'\u00e9taient pas sinc\u00e8res.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2682642\" data-originallang=\"en\">Dans un article paru ce matin, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a r\u00e9p\u00e9t\u00e9 et vigoureusement d\u00e9fendu sa comparaison avec le r\u00e9gime nazi. Il a affirm\u00e9 au journaliste qu'il ne s'\u00e9tait r\u00e9tract\u00e9 qu'en partie et il a ajout\u00e9 \u00ab les similitudes entre les deux sont tr\u00e8s \u00e9videntes, et personne ne pourra me convaincre du contraire [...] j'ai dit la v\u00e9rit\u00e9 \u00bb. Les Canadiens savent qu'il est ignoble de comparer un adversaire politique \u00e0 un homme qui a tu\u00e9 des millions de gens et que c'est offensant pour les victimes de l'Holocauste. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2682643\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> est \u00e0 l'ext\u00e9rieur du pays depuis moins d'une semaine et le caucus conservateur est d\u00e9j\u00e0 en d\u00e9route. L'avortement, la peine de mort, la torture et, maintenant, les comparaisons avec Adolf Hitler ne constituent pas des priorit\u00e9s pour les familles canadiennes. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2682644\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je profite de l'occasion pour reprendre les paroles d'un vrai leader: \u00ab Que se passe-t-il l\u00e0-bas? \u00bb</p>"
