Ready for another federal election?
Looks like the Libs and Dippers are prepared to die on Hug-a-thug Hill...
-- OTTAWA -- Opposition MPs, including Liberals who have worked on justice issues, say they would plunge the country into another federal election before agreeing to a slate of Conservative proposals that would see convicted criminals treated more harshly.Of course, we all know how well the Prime Minister responds to threats...
The measures, including tougher penalties for young offenders and the reduced use of conditional sentences that allow criminals to serve their time at home, are likely to be among the first tests of Liberal willingness to challenge Stephen Harper's new minority government.
"I don't think there has been any change in our position around that," Kory Teneycke, spokesman for Prime Minister Stephen Harper, told The Globe and Mail.So, lemme see... if I was Stephen Harper, I'd be pushing this one to the top of the legislative agenda... just so I could... once again... go head to head with that formidable eco-warrior Stephane Dion.
"We are prepared to make them [justice issues] confidence matters if necessary."
That's only fair... right?

The Bloc votes 2nd or 3rd?
Maybe this time the Libs will vote 'no' in confidence matters and let the separatists and socialists hold the bag.
All the opps can vote 'no' as long as around 15 are no shows...the govt will not fall.
Some Liberals think the GG would give them a coalition government, even tho PMSH won a second stronger mandate...
1/3 separatists, 1/2 (down 25% from the last election) with a lameduck leader, 1/6 socialist
I hope they do stay and vote no, then listen try and explain the reasoning behind it.

Liberals are so full of crap, it's too bad they don't have a shred of credibility because it would be great if they brought the government down right now and ran a campaign focused around being soft on murderers and rapists - that would hopefully lead to a Conservative majority, and finally some rational justice legislation.
I loved this quote from the end of the article:
'The Conservative plan is "an ignorant, uninformed vision" of the justice system and how it works, said Mr. Lee, adding that harsher penalties don't work because criminals don't know the precise sentences for the crimes they commit.'
Criminals don't know the precise sentences for the crimes they commit? Then, to borrow a line from Liar Liar, STOP BREAKING THE LAW, A**HOLE!!!

"my own personal troll protests... If it was not legitimate dissent you would simply delete it without comment and not make entire posts about it."
and deprive you of your moment in the sun? oh nonny... you so desperately want to be noticed... i'm just helping out.
you are the blogosphere equivalent of a confused, frustrated adolescent... spraying naughty words on walls.
