Paul Calandra has had a difficult year. It’s about to get worse, if comedian Mark Critch has anything to say about it.

Critch, of CBC’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes, is promising to donate $1 — up to a maximum of $1,500 — to Newfoundland and Labrador’s Planned Parenthood program for each person who tweets “@paulcalandra u are a tool”.

I will donate $1 to @NLSexualHealth for each person that tweets “@paulcalandra u are a tool” up to $1,500 — Mark Critch (@markcritch) August 13, 2015

Critch is taking aim at Calandra, formerly Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s parliamentary secretary, after Calandra blocked Critch on Twitter. Critch wrote on Twitter that he was blocked shortly after complimenting CBC’s Rosie Barton for “keeping @PaulCalandra honest today. What a slippery tool,” he tweeted.

.@RosieBarton did a fantastic job keeping @PaulCalandra honest today. What a slippery tool — Mark Critch (@markcritch) August 13, 2015

That apparently was enough for Calandra to block Critch — something Critch wasn’t taking lying down.

Saying you think a reporter did a good job gets you blocked? @PaulCalandra is Cleary running scared. Can’t wait until @22_Minutes starts up — Mark Critch (@markcritch) August 13, 2015

I am soooooooo coming for @PaulCalandra – politicians should represent not lie and hide — Mark Critch (@markcritch) August 13, 2015

And with that, Critch launched his campaign.

RT’s don’t help – have to tweet “you are a tool” AT @PaulCalandra — Mark Critch (@markcritch) August 13, 2015

Several Parliamentary Press Gallery reporters have also been blocked by Calandra.

I’m heartbroken that @PaulCalandra appears to have blocked me. Was it something I said? — Alex Boutilier (@alexboutilier) August 13, 2015

I have just discovered that @paulcalandra has blocked me. Any other Parliamentary Press Gallery reporters blocked? #cdnpoli #hilarious — Lee Berthiaume (@leeberthiaume) August 13, 2015

I gotta say. I never would have called Paul Calandra a tool. I never would have done that, Paul. Yet here I am. Blocked. :( — Jeremy Nuttall (@Tyee_Nuttall) August 13, 2015
