I guess I would disagree. In the last sitting of Parliament, the Liberals would often abstain from voting; giving Harper a virtual majority. This time Harper put something in place right off the bat that would get the Liberals involved; but instead of becoming a voice to be heard, they are trying to find a way to bully the system.

Yes, Harper did wake the sleeping dog. But that doesn't mean he deserves to get mauled to death.
