From the CBC's report on the East Coast Music Awards:

It is the second year the foul-mouthed TV and film stars, played by Robb Wells, John Paul Tremblay and Mike Smith, have played host.

The boys kept their language clean and performed a heart-warming rendition of Kitties are So Nice, with Bubbles on guitar.

However, Newfoundland and Labrador comedian Mary Walsh referred to the federal Conservatives as 'the arse-lickers of Satan' before introducing a performer.

Walsh, a state-sponsored "comedienne" who combines the physical charm of Rosie O'Donnell with the comic range of Margaret Cho, has an interesting approach to telling a joke. If nobody laughs, she repeats it word for word, but LOUDER. I've never had the misfortune of finding out, but I would imagine that her shows are a rather deafening affair by their conclusion.
