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.
Quote:

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. [/b][/quote]
Nonsense. I realize it wasnt "the first time" it was used. It should not of been done like that....no matter who you support, this was a slimeball, very Paul Matinesque move.
Its still reeks of desperation and deceit by the Fiberals...especially when they had to make a deal with BQ, just to get the vote to happen at that time of night.
Who was complaining about the PC's making a deal with the BQ again? (When they really didnt make any such deal)
I wonder if you Fiberals are willing to admit, how bizarre it is for your heroes to be making a deal with the NDP and the seperatists, to push through an NDP driven budget and make sure the BQ gets its vote on the same sex bill? Yet still have the audacity to claim...and i quote from one of your own in this thread alone...

What deal did Martin make with the Bloc?

hypocrisy indeed.
Quote:
In a surprise move, and with a number of Conservative MPs missing, the Liberals marched out a rarely used obscure procedural motion to cut off all debate and force an immediate vote on the budget.
