Petty Politics Indeed
MP Jim Karygiannis said the following in the house. The email I sent to him is also below. I suggest you all email him from his site here.

Mr. Karygiannis,
I found the following of your comments in the house sadly misplaced and reprehensible - the deaths of our soldiers should be respected and not used for petty politics. I request you retract them as uncalled for and an insult to the grieving families.
Respectfully,
Lucas J Kenward
Hon. Jim Karygiannis (Scarborough—Agincourt, Lib.):
Mr. Speaker, I realize how difficult this must be for the minister. Just today we had two soldiers killed in Afghanistan and tomorrow or the next day their remains will be brought home, draped in a Canadian flag and a nation will be very thankful of the work that they were doing in that part of the world, not a nation of nations, but a nation. I am sure that the minister will join me in recognizing that we are paying respect to them as a nation for the work that they are doing in fighting for human rights, justice and peace around the world.
I am wondering what we tell the parents of the two soldiers who are coming back. Do we say that this is a nation which is grateful to your sons and daughters or is this a nation of nations which is respectful to your sons and daughters? I am wondering if the minister will share with us the exact expression that he is going to use when he meets those two families.
