Unbelievable.

I am truly re-thinking my move back now.

A leader of the Libs who garnered the lowest suppoprt in Canadian Liberal history at the federal level has pretty much just succeeded in taking away a mandate given to someone else by the Canadian electorate.

Awesome.

Does ANYONE else think that maybe, just maybe, before the Liberals go barnstorming their way to this, that they may just give the MP's a couple weeks to gauge the support among their constituents for such abrazen/precedent setting move??? I mean seriously...what would it hurt to even wait til Jan 5th or so and let their staffers take calls/emails/letters from those who voted for them on something THIS monumental?

Oh right....its been planned for weeks...I forgot.
