Well just to confirm how arrogant Martin is and how stupid he believes Canadians to be, he has this quote in the Sun today about the "trick" he used to pass the budget.

Prime Minister Paul Martin called the manoeuvre "standard parliamentary procedure" which everybody is aware of.

Really?
So hastily called midnight votes are standard procedure now?
The first time in Canadian history the official opposition didnt have a chance to debate the budget before a vote...is standard procedure?
Paul Martin is a bald faced, flat out liar.
Nothing new for the Fiberals here though.

Actually, it's not the first time this tactic was used in Canada.
Also, most of the conservatives made it back in time to vote. The fact they were caught off guard, and not anyone else, should speak more to their political savvy than anything else.
