Cowardly Liberals Abstain AGAIN

Motion giving Senate ultimatum passes as Liberals pussy out yet again

Ottawa — The Liberals walked out of the Commons en masse Tuesday rather than vote on a government motion demanding that the Senate pass an omnibus crime bill by March 1.

(...)

“The Canadian people through their elected representatives have spoken,” said Peter Van Loan, the government House leader. “They want the Tackling Violent Crime Act passed and they want it passed now.”

Clearly, there's some reason why the Liberals keep abstaining precisely when voting against the government would mean an election. I guess the Liberals know very well that they can't fight one anymore!
