When multi-tasking doesn't work out
A Canadian MP was caught attending a parliamentary meeting from the potty. Fortunately his phone camera, which was propped up on a ledge behind the toilet, didn't lay bare what, exactly, he was doing in the stall. Now Shafqat Ali, down in the dumps after

Liberal party member Shafqat Ali participated in a hybrid session of Parliament last Friday, joining with a Zoom-like feed visible only to other parliamentarians. But Conservative members grew suspicious of his surroundings and told the House that a lawmaker "might be participating in a washroom" somewhere inside Parliament.
