Now the Liberals on the other hand? Stronach given a cabinet post to cross the floor, the NDP gets their budget passed under the Liberal banner for support in the non-confidence motion, etc etc.
Do the words 'minority government' mean anything? Or perhaps you are refering to the US system where nobody ever says "put this rider in the bill and I'll support it" Maybe it's just me, but I prefer the current situation to a majority for any party where absolute power rests with one person.

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.
Nice irony. Liberals whined then, Conservatives now, yet only one is a hypocrite??

[/QUOTE]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.[QUOTE]

Subvert democray? By holding a vote to A: limit debate (to get something done if we're talking a Conservative action and then B: the nerve to hold a vote on the budget. Or is it the vote to work a few more weeks that bothers you?
