uh huh whatever
They'll propose a bill in June -- which ends up getting voted on in the senate... so it'll get voted on by our elected members of parliament (mine is the Speaker of the House so I don't think he gets a vote -- conflict of interest).Quote:

Of course if we get an early election -- all bills will be killed so this could go tits up in one of three ways:
1) Issue gets edited before it becomes a bill
2) House strikes down the bill
3) Election is called before it's pushed through parliament.
Obviously there's other ways to kill a bill -- but those three are the most likely.

The PPC was already given official recognition by the Canadian government as a valid party, I'm voting for them next time we vote. Just because I can.

Get them kicked off the internet. No need for a judge.
I'm pretty sure they do, that's why there was a little radio report about them locally.
