I know nothing about Canadian politics, but I must say that a lady should find a better, more dignified way of expressing her thoughts in any public forum, especially in the Parliament.

Perhaps but there is a 'relatively' honorable history to the use of the word and the discussion of the same. I give you Benjamin Franklin; “Fart for freedom, fart for liberty—and fart proudly.” and “He that lives upon hope will die farting.” While a 4-letter word, it is a word, as used by this MP, is eloquent as a simile, a noticeable but worthless reality.

Franklin was not a lady.
