Go ahead and vote Liberal...
...I dare you...
-- OTTAWA -- Liberal senators are under fire for tinkering with a justice bill passed by elected MPs.But that's just how Iggy and his crew roll... isn't it?
Justice Minister Rob Nicholson accused Grits in the red chamber of "gutting" C-25, the so-called "truth in sentencing" bill that ends two-for-one credit for time served in jail awaiting trial.
Nicholson called on Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff to bring the senators in line and drop the proposal to extend credit for time spent in harsh jail conditions.

LAST WORD: The Puffin has (crash)landed
As his party has slipped in the polls, Ignatieff's disapproval ratings have grown.*
The percentage of respondents who disapproved of the way Ignatieff is handling his job was 51 per cent, up from 38 per cent in August.
Ignatieff's approval rating was 19 per cent, down from 29 per cent two months ago.

I believe, as I postulate on my blog, this is a revolution of the Bob Rae camp. He's rallying his Senate supporters to make Iggy look bad.

"reid says... He's rallying his Senate supporters to make Iggy look bad."
well, in actual fact... "the boob" doesn't wield that kind of stick... but his powerbroker brother john certainly does.
interesting theory, reid... feel free to drop in a link to your post here in the comments.

True Bob doesn't wield that power. However, Senators who support him for Lib leader would most likely do Bob a "favour."

the fact is, john rae... a man whose name most canadians wouldn't even recognise... could make fiberal puppets (including brother bob) do naked cartwheels on parliament hill any time he so desired.
does he have a motive for making iggy look bad? oooh, man... that's so cynical.

Another conservative senator opening, and another one at the end of November, and then Jan 2010.
If there are pro Rae, are there not also anti-Rae. So if iffy is sent packing, will not Rae face the same opposition in the ROC. Maybe Power Corp will finally lose its clout.
I wonder how much the kyoto thingy is behind it all. Mo is waiting in China for all our money, to be shared with Chretain.
If Polanski can be brought back after 30 yrs, could Mo finally be forced to face his Oil For Food charges.

if only.
unfortunately the corporate tentacles (of power corp & others) extend way beyond party lines... the conservatives are by no means immune here.
moola talks... especially in the world of politics... loudly.
