Calling Bluffs

Well some days you have it, and some days you don’t.

 If you had asked me a few months ago if I thought that Pat Robertson would endorse Giuliani, I would have laughed and said no.  I would have been wrong.

Now I’m wrong again.  The Liberals have been talking big recently, like they were looking for a fight.  The Conservatives called them on it, introducing a motion to stay in Afghanistan for two more years, a motion to increase the mandatory sentences for criminals, and a budget.

Well it seems like the Liberals were bluffing.  They seem to be letting the budget pass, they’re making sounds like they’ll vote for the Afghanistan Mission extension (odd since they have criticized it so much in Question Period), I wouldn’t be surprised if they chicken out on the mandatory sentences.

Well, the Conservatives still want to pressure the Liberals into calling an election, so they will be putting in a controversial motion to rework how the Canadian Wheat Board works.  Again though, it looks like the Liberals may be supporting it.

This of course has the NDP up in arms, they had counted on the Liberals support to take down the Government.  Ahh well Layton, maybe next motion.
