Well that's interesting!
A backbencher Liberal MP throughout her career in Parliament from 1993 to 2006, Parrish drew attention to herself from 2003 for her vocal opposition to the George W. Bush administration in the United States. By November 2004, her continued outspokenness on current American policy led Paul Martin to expel her from caucus.
