Fire... them... all...

There's just no pleasing these guys... first they hold up "tough on crime" legislation... now they're crappin' on consumer protection...
-- OTTAWA -- Key Liberal senators voted Wednesday to weaken the government's consumer product safety legislation — putting at risk the proposal to give Health Canada inspectors the power to recall dangerous products quickly.
Somebody remind me... why exactly are we allowing these unelected pork-barrel bullies to subvert the will of Parliament?
The bill passed the House of Commons unanimously in June when the three opposition parties got behind the bill, drafted to replace 40-year old legislation universally identified as outdated.
