So the Tories are cowards twice and the Liberals are cowards four times?
You're trying to make me defend the Liberals for using the same tactic. I won't do it. I am against it, and I want to do something about it.
I'm not trying to make you do anything. Despite the little "C" next to my name, i don't live and die by the Tory sword. I just think it's really sill for the Libs to feign shock and horror over this when they all know that it's the Senate issue that's behind this Tory move.
The Senate has blocked yet another bill that received a majority vote in the Commons. This time Harper had a choice. Prorogue and appoint 5 more Tory senators and get this bill and future bills that the elected MP's pass through the house.
All this bluster about 'ignoring the will of the people' is made all the more silly and transparent by the fact that Chretien did it four times, something the media and the Libs are quite happy to ignore.
Really, if you partisan types go for these issues, you should make sure you are doing it from the moral high ground or it just looks like what it really is.
Partisan hypocrisy.
Like I say, the Libs can vote against the budget if they dare.
