Liberals on their knees
The Canadian federal government is in disarray. Today the House of Commons voted 153-150 in favour of amending a committee report to include the recommendation that the Government resign. The Liberals are refusing to view the amendment as a vote of non-confidence, and likewise refusing to introduce a motion of confidence. This is an unprecedented breach of Parliamentary tradition in Canada, and could indicate the beginning of a Constitutional crisis. More here, here, and here.
Stephen Harper has the money quote of the day: "Mr. Martin's behaviour has gone from dithering to desperate and now to dangerous."
