Flaherty declares C-10 confidence bill

So sez the government, if the Senate amends the budget bill to eliminate the fed's want of oversight over "offensive" movies and is sent back to the House to be voted on as so amended.

I'd rather an election be about immigration than hot content in film, but Slim Jim's attitude suits me just fine as a Liberal. If they want the election to be about censorship, so be it.

Watch Dion fold again.

Maybe not, Dawg. I think Dion may totally catch the press off guard on this one, when they least expect it. I don't know what the trigger issue will be, but I have a hunch the election will be sooner than later.

You are missing the other half of the story on this: yet another broken Tory promise.

Page 44 of the 2006 Conservative Party Election Platform:

"Make all votes in Parliament, except the budget and main estimates, “free votes” for ordinary Members of
Parliament."

That should be in the headlines all over the place.
