The Paper Fight, "The tradition of having a paper fight in the Manitoba legislature began around 1900, when members of the legislative assembly (MLAs) threw their papers up in the air to celebrate the end of a session." "By 1920 Manitoba MLAs began throwing paper at each other. The paper fight would begin when the lieutenant-governor walked out after the session ended. It was a bonding event, particularly for backbenchers who didn't get to participate much in parliamentary proceedings." "The fights escalated when MLAs starting targeting other members or reporters with whom they had grudges. They rolled up Hansards or magazines and taped them together to make dangerous projectiles." "The paper fight tradition in Manitoba ended in 1981 due to injuries and damage to expensive new desk microphones." from: http://archives.cbc.ca/IDC-1-73-199-1001-10/on_this_day/politics_economy/paper_fight_manitoba Aug 30 07, 1:58 AM
