To my mind, the opposition is damaging its credibility on this somewhat. When the PM says he'll vote against it and that it is "unfortunate", it is time to sit down ...

Never ones to miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity the Conservatives removed any chance of the NDP looking bad by today comparing the NDP concerns over keeping troops in Afghanistan to the lone CCF member to vote against fighting Hitler.  Who comes up with this stuff?

So Jacob get a "mystery novelist" title, and I get called an "ideologue" for spouting more or less the same theory earlier.  :lol:

The difference is Jacob realizes his conspiracy theory is far fetched. ;)

What's going on around here? Everyone seems to be in a good mood. It's really out of character.

Mean, it is Friday and all but that happens once a week so that's not a sufficient explanation...

We spent the week bickering but in the end realized there isnt all that much to disagree about?

In the end, yeah. This bill's not going to pass, we all know it, so it's not really worth the fight.  :lol:
