It gets even better...not only were the WR (the official oppositio) shut down from asking anything related to tobacco....but the speaker allowed similar questions fro the "liberals" and the NDP.
Hmm...seems like that isnt very democratic, and i wonder if Slava will now label those MLA's as "spoiled children stomping away when they dont get their way" I dont think i will hold my breath waiting for that one.

OK, a rule is a rule. A privilege point is out of order until the Speaker makes a decision.
But then, Zwozdesky interpreted his own warning to include any mention of tobacco.
He even refused to hear demands for details of the contract, a point that had nothing to do with the Wildrose allegation that Redford misled the house about the decision.
And then, after cutting off virtually every Wildrose question, Zwozdesky allowed a couple of similar ones from the NDP and Liberals.
