  Carolyn Parrish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carolyn Parrish, BA, B.Ed (born October 3, 1946 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian politician, former member of the Canadian House of Commons and former teacher.
On the morning of the vote, Parrish informed a media representative that she was suffering from severe pain due to a medical ailment (there was speculation at the time that this was appendicitis or an ovarian cyst, though informed sources now indicate that it likely was kidney stones).
Although Parrish has indicated that she was considering returning to the Liberal Caucus and remains to date a card-carrying member of the Liberal Party, an aide to the Prime Minister stated on July 29, 2005 that "He's not even entertaining the thought of welcoming Carolyn Parrish back to caucus".

Parrish entered politics in 1993, when she was first elected to the House of Commons.
Her main competitor in Mississauga-Erindale (Bob Dechert) based his campaign largely on the fact that Parrish's remarks were (in his opinion) "inappropriate." Parrish was speaking to reporters after a rally in opposition to missile defense during the campaign.
Parrish's website now states that she sits as an independent because of "her criticism of the government's ever deepening pro-American stance." She is now literally a backbencher; she sits in the very last row on the government side of the House.

Parrish refused to be interviewed, but in a statement e-mailed to her assistant confirmed that she had discussions with Martin.

But Parrish garnered respect from her former colleagues when she voted for the government's budget on May 19, helping Martin cling to power by the narrowest of margins.

 Is Parrish too big for this town? (Random Access)
In a story that stretches right across the top of A9, Carolyn Parrish's political federal history is regurgitated to the nth detail, with nary a mention of her years as a school trustee and local school board chair because, you know, that was before she hit the big time.
"Carolyn Parrish wants a job that involves debating urban sewer systems and how to foil the gypsy moth," it sniffs, as if representing people's needs in the neighbourhoods where they live each and every day is somehow beneath a real politician.
Ron Starr is a good guy and Parrish has a lengthy history of public service but when you get right down to it i think this is going to be more a vote on her personality then it will be on local issues.

 Colour commentator Carolyn Parrish (Random Access)
Parrish's unsympathetic description during the 2004 campaign of the deficiencies of Liberal strategy, which referenced the antics of the famous Hollywood creation of Canadian filmmaker Mack Sennett, the Keystone Cops, left some in her own party aghast.

 LIFE AND TIMES OF CAROLYN PARRISH MP   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Parrish made headlines last month when, on the brink of war, she insulted the Americans by saying "I hate those bastards" - A REMARK THAT HAS SO ANGERED THE White House that the U.S. ambassador to Canada this week mentioned it specifically in his heartfelt statements about American's sense of betrayal by Canada.
More often than not, Parrish's pronouncements are couched in the language of the gutter, contrary to the time-honoured parliamentary tradition which dictates that even the most intransigent political enemies treat each other with courtesy and respect.
Finally, in an incident that raised eyebrows everywhere, Parrish was dismissively cruel to a Polish immigrant family who came to her for help to stay in Canada.

Late Thursday, Parrish fired off a statement in which she defended her Bush comments as her own and not reflective of the government.
The prime minister said Parrish's statements were "unacceptable" and were not reflective of his government's or his caucus' position.
Parrish's latest comments are even more embarrassing to the prime minister because they came shortly after he reportedly told the Liberal caucus not to offer their views on the results of the U.S. election.
