Calgary Grit's post on this got me thinking.
Earlier this week a private members bill sponsored by Dan McTeague (a proud member of the witness protection program known as the Liberal backbench) passed third reading and is now bound for the Senate - over the objections of the Prime Minister. And now Canadians get to sit back and watch the sad and silly spectacle.
On the one hand Canada's "New Government" being too stupid to stop a bill (at first reading or second reading or third reading) are now begging a Senate they claim is dysfunctional to do the job they couldn't manage to do.
On the other hand we have an official "opposition" that is crowing about an education savings plan that will mostly help the well-off and - more importantly - is certain to die because the Conservatives have already said they plan to kill it in an amended Budget bill which the Liberals have already said they'll pass (despite being opposed to it).
Why these clowns form governments is beyond me.
