Actually, quite a few people have said that, including the Three Stooges themselves. Maybe not with their words, but most certainly with their actions.

I didn't invent the term. It's not like I pulled it out of my ass. It's been a widely used term for decades, and where there's smoke there's usually fire.

This is not even a valid point anymore. The subsidies issue has been taken off the table, so what's the excuse for continuing with the charade? It should also be noted, however, that all the opinion votes (admittedly not scientific) that I have seen are overwhelmingly in favour of dropping the vote subsidies for political parties. So, even though the timing of it was ridiculous, it's not like it's something that Canadians wouldn't support.
