Climate change? What climate?

Well Harper has maintained his predictable set of behaviors. When something he does not support goes out of his control he just breaks another one of myriad of promises he made to voters when trying to get a majority. This time he has destroyed a climate change bill C-311 through the SENATE. I did not even know the Senate had that kind of power in our system. How can an unelected body, appointed by the Prime Minister, side track a bill passed by the House of Commons, filled with elected members? And what kind of many promises not to use such tactics to win votes then turns to it when everything else has failed. The kind of man who is more interested in his vision then with the collective vision of the majority of the population (even if you count just those who vote). Bruce Hyer said it best when he stated:

Way to go Steve you may actually succeed in creating a three party system in this country. All you need is a little help from Iggy, if he looks anymore like a con the NDP should soar in the next elections. Heck even the Green's might win a seat.
