The Blushing Brison

Federal Liberal cabinet minister Scott Brison, today, confirmed plans to wed his partner Maxime St. Pierre.

Disturbed by the attention he is getting for being the first openly gay MP to tie the knot, Brison said he is "not a gay politician, but rather a politician who happens to be gay."

Impressed with Brison's straight-forward approach to a backhanded linguistic wrap-around, another notable Liberal has already begun to mimic his verbal handywork by saying he's "not a corrupt politician, but rather a politician who happens to chew gum!"

Liberal party well-wishers planning on buying wedding gifts will be pleased to know that the happy couple is conveniently registered at Public Works.
