What Wells Said

Wells is getting tired of the way the sports beat Ottawa beat is being covered these days. To be fair to Mr. Wells, he and I have been on the same wavelength on this issue for some time.

Instant Update:The scary thing is, it was exactly one year ago that he and I were lamenting the state of politics in this country and things are no better and are, quite possibly, worse.

Meanwhile On The Immigration Front

The Tories are set to pass their Immigration law, which will give the minister more power to decide which ethnic groups are worthy. What about the opposition you ask? I will let John Ivision tell you:

The NDP has been vocal and active in opposition to the legislation; immigration critic Olivia Chow will introduce an amendment to the budget bill today calling for the immigration section to be removed because it lacks fairness and transparency.

However, the amendment is doomed because the Liberals will once again sit on their hands. Most Liberals would like to follow their consciences on the vote but, as in so many recent instances, they can't because their consciences are not going in the same direction as they are.

Ouch. Today's Liberal Party. As strong as Dion is popular.

Another Stupid Gesture From Dion

Forcing yet another vote on Afghanistan. He must know the NDP will never support a motion calling for an extension of the mission until 2009 (after all we have been down this road before). This has nothing to do with getting the troops out of Afghanistan and everything to do with Dion's obsession with playing wedge politics with the NDP.
