It's nonsense.<br /><br />Besides people are overlooking the fact that the so-called 'Tory' monopoly of the senate is not exactly true. I believe there are two or three PC senators who don't necessarily support the neoconservative agenda.<br /><br />I have a video somewhere here I'll have to dig up but when NDP Stouffer, I believe, was condemning the expenses of senators, Mike Duffy came on and disputed one of the names; stating that they were PC and on not in his caucus.<br /><br />So the senate may still be controlled by progressive thinkers, not right-wing ideologuesEmily Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08354341672810615468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180592942896724433.post-9568188943934496052010-01-30T21:50:26.009-05:002010-01-30T21:50:26.009-05:00VIDEO: The so-called "gutting" of Bill C...VIDEO: The so-called "gutting" of Bill C-15 by Liberal Senators<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mfc0YtUZuYk<br /><br />Description:<br /><br />Clause 3 of Bill C-15 being amended during the Dec. 3, 2009 Senate Committee meeting (clause by clause examination of the bill).<br /><br />***This video contains evidence that debunks the Conservative claim of Liberal Senators "gutting" Bill C-15. In fact, the two Conservative Senators who had questions about the amendment (Sen. Carignan and Sen. Wallace) seem to have difficulty containing their giddiness over an amendment they both interpreted as making the bill "stronger"! Not exactly the reaction you'd expect over an amendment that supposedly "gutted" the bill.<br /><br />*Don't believe the spin!...<br />---<br />Department of Justice press release (Jan. 29, 2010):<br /><br />"The opposition has obstructed that agenda in the Senate, most notably by gutting Bill C-15 a bill proposing mandatory jail time for serious drug offences, and a key part of the governments efforts to fight organized crime."<br /><br />http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/news-nouv/nr-cp/2010/doc_32473.html<br />---<br /><br />Read the full transcript of this committee meeting for yourself:<br /><br />http://www.parl.gc.ca/40/2/parlbus/commbus/senate/Com-e/lega-e/47574-e.htm?Language=E&Parl=40&Ses=2&comm_id=11<br /><br /><br />-FrankDFrankDiscussionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313023876409857454noreply@blogger.com
