just to be clear on the tanker ban bill.

i actually don't think that the outcome of the situation resolves the constitutional crisis that was created by trudeau's monkeying around with the senate. we still have a bill that's been cut up and watered down by an unelected body, and i haven't had a chance to look into it to see if it's acceptable or not.

i expect that, in the end, i'm going to call on the government to reject the senate's changes and send the bill back. the senate still has no democratic mandate to do what they did, and accepting undemocratically watered down legislation is still probably not going to be good enough. and, if the government accepts the watered down bill, i'm not going to stand up for them but am rather going to attack them for it, as they set this stupid situation up themselves.

but, i'm getting ahead of myself; i haven't read it yet.
