From the Prime Minister's Web Site (061027)
In a speech to the Oakville Chamber of Commerce, Prime Minister Stephen Harper today laid out the government's agenda and called upon the opposition to stop blocking change. "This is not what Canadians voted for and it's not what Canadians want," said the Prime Minister....other than offering a soapbox, what does he think the Oakville Chamber of Commerce can do for him?
However, the Prime Minister added that the opposition parties are using the unelected Senate and committee meetings to undermine the government's accountability and anti-crime measures.... as if he needed anybody's help undermining his authority...
... anyway, maybe it's just bad legislation? I doubt the liberals (as greasy as they can be sometimes) would be stalling good legislation, unless they are just waiting to return to power so they can claim it as their own (and give the neo-cons a taste of their own medicine)!
"If the opposition disagrees with us, they should do it in the open, not in some committee meeting, not in the unelected Senate, and not by endlessly stalling a democratic vote," concluded Prime Minister Harper. "It's time for the opposition to be straight up with Canadians - why are you opposing accountability and tough measures against crime?"... and he's leading by example?
... right, who needs to read the fine print, anyway? just sign the damn contract and buy that lemon!
...according to liberal MPs and committee members (granted, not necessarily the most unbiased group), the neo-cons are all "too busy" to attend these meetings, and I've yet to hear anything but grandstanding and aggressive question-avoidance from Baird and the rest of Harper's crew during the house of commons' spectacle known as Question Period.
... "they should do it in the open" - look how great that worked for Garth Turner!

I'm confused on this one. WHo's been blocking what and what does it have to do with Oakville?
uhm, I really don't think it has anything to do with Oakville in particular, other than he happened to be speaking at their Chamber of Commerce.
anyway, on CPACE yesterday there was a mini-debate panel with 1MP from each party, the neocon puppet spewed the same "it's all their fault we're just trying to get the job done" crap, while all opposition parties scoffed and blamed the cons for monopolizing and stalling absolutely everything else. "that's rich, very rich, coming from the Conservatives" one was saying.
