jamesqWhat is it with Conservatives and meaningless gestures pretending to be democracy?
First it was the completely bogus Alberta Senator-in-Waiting vote during the last provincial election. Now it's the so-called confidence vote in the House of Commons yesterday.
Guys, a confidence vote has a very precise meaning in parliament and your motion of confidence did not qualify. There's going to be a vote on the budget in two weeks - that will be a true vote of confidence.
You can call a turd a banana-split if you want to - you can even dress it up with some whipped cream and a cherry - but that doesn't make it true. I'm certainly not going to stick a spoonful of it in my mouth.
