Why do these people even show up for work?

Okay, that's it--they have officially become a parody of themselves.

It's worse than that.

Look at the language of the motion Maria Minna has introduced:

March 4, 2008 — Ms. Minna (Beaches—East York) — That, in the opinion of the House: (a) women's equality is a matter of human rights and, since the Court Challenges Program was a useful tool in achieving that end, it should be reinstated; (b) to provide a legitimate and necessary voice to the needs of women, research and advocacy should be restored to the government's Women's Program; (c) an adequate supply of high quality childcare spaces is essential to ensuring women’s participation in the workforce and the government should take the necessary steps immediately to create 125,000 spaces as it promised; (d) since access to government services is essential in rural areas and the government’s closure of 12 of 16 regional offices of Status of Women Canada further isolates rural women, the government should take immediate steps to improve access for our most isolated Canadians; (e) there is a growing need in Canada for a national housing strategy designed to assist the most vulnerable in our society and to treat them with the respect they deserve; and that, therefore, the House condemn the irresponsible and self-serving actions on November 28, 2005, by the New Democratic Party and the Bloc Québécois which led to the installation of a government that is hostile to the rights and needs of vulnerable Canadians.

ONE DAY AFTER 27 Liberals voted for Ken Epp's dishonest attempt to separate women from their pregnancies and to begin the march towards recriminalizing abortion ... ONE DAY AFTER Stéphane Dion couldn't even show up for that vote ... because he was hosting a party at 24 Sussex in celebration of ... International Women's Day.

Satire is dead.

From the jackasses who let C-484 pass yesterday because they wouldn't show up or whip caucus?

Dion is not a leader. The Liberals are condemning us to authoritarian Conservative rule of lies and stealth attacks on freedom.

Fuck them. Fuck all of them...

led to the installation of a government that is hostile to the rights and needs of vulnerable Canadians.

That would be the same government that the Liberals have steadfastly *refused* to defeat, despite being given numerous opportunities to do so...

Someone might want to point out to Dion that if he'd shown the courage of his convictions and brought down the government, the Harperites would be out on the campaign trail trying to dodge questions about Cadscam AND the Obama memo leak...

Meanwhile, the Jurist reports on another vote that was held yesterday on a motion to correct the Charles McVety clause in Bill C-10. The Liberals voted with the Conservatives and against the motion.

Oops. Scratch 24 Sussex. That party would have been at Stornoway, of course.

Idealistic Pragmatist - I thought parodies were supposed to be funny. These asswipes have taken pathetic to a whole new dimension. I never thought I would look back fondly on the days of Paul Martin.:-(
