No, but he is pointing out the absolute hypocricy of Martin and the Liberals.
The Liberals did everything they could to stall a non-confidence motion that had them terrified their government would fall, and then start whining when the Conservatives stalled to try and prevent this bill and the same sex marriage bill from passing this session.
The Liberals (and NDP) made a big deal about the Conservatives working with the evil seperatists. Well, the Liberals worked with the evil seperatists here to get that extension, and to subvert democracy.
I wonder if our prinicpled Human Resources minister will make a big stink about it and jump to the NDP? Oh, wait, no. She wont. The NDP cant offer her a cabinet position for her principles.
That all said, the Conservatives do deserve some blame for this. The Liberals have shown for many years that they will trample anyone's right to open debate and free speech, and have used similar dirty tricks in the past to bully their corrupt deals through. Harper should have been ready for this to happen at any time.
