Canada's federal Liberal party hasn't had much to cheer about since Jean Chretien retired, so they can be forgiven for using any excuse they can find, no matter how minor, to boost their spirits.
Justin Trudeau's amateur boxing victory over Conservative Senator Patrick Brazeau provided such an excuse this week. Trudeau deserves credit for beating the boastful Brazeau with his fists, while maintaining an uncharacteristic dignity and modesty outside the ring during the lead-up and aftermath of the event.
But the Liberal Party never seems to miss an opportunity to overplay its hand and make itself look stupid in the process..

I must give credit to Justin Trudeau for a rare showing of modesty. HOWEVER, the attitude of Rodger Cuzner gives me reason to believe that the Liberals forgot that the match was for charity, not bragging rights.
Good to see a little humour in the HoC, but hope this isn't a normal routine...
