The interim leader of the Liberal Party of Quebec, Marc Tanguay, made a surprising mistake when evaluating the parliamentary session on Friday morning. He bluntly claimed not to be thinking, which caused general amusement.

When a journalist asked him a question about the PLQ leadership race, Marc Tanguay wanted to say he wasn’t worried about it at the moment. Here’s what he said:
“I, listen, I make no distinction between the one who thinks and the one who doesn’t think.” I, for one, can assure you that I don’t think. I don’t care what I see…”
His colleague, MP Filomena Rotiroti, then pointed out what he had just said. Mr. Tanguay therefore pulled himself together to avoid unflattering headlines.
“So, for so-and-so… Marc Tanguay… The title: Marc Tanguay doesn’t reflect — please, comma — the lead, period,” he corrected. Because I claim to think about things every day, but about things other than leadership.
