February 21, 2007 - Liberal MPs feign indignation, demand an apology, and repeatedly shout down Stephen Harper when he tried to read from a newspaper article during Question Period.

The Vancouver Sun reported that the father-in-law of Mississauga-Brampton South Member of Parliament Navdeep Bains is on an RCMP list of potential witnesses who may be compelled to testify about the 1985 Air India bombing.

The RCMPs ability to compel witnesses to testify provided under the Anti-terrorism Act was about to be renewed when the Liberal party suddenly changed their position and allowed the Act to expire. There was speculation Dions sudden decision was influenced by indo-Canadians in the Liberal party led by Navdeep Bains.

Thats pretty funny "it is unusal situations when someone is asked to apologize for what is about to happen"

@danbeb That's what happens when a the left vote was divided between 2 parties, he got a majority government with less then 50% of the vote. He was even held in contempt of parliament before that election. Corporations love him and so do their media stations, there's nothing strange about any of it.

@Kariakas Funny how he was won two elections as PM now and has a majority government yet everyone still hates him. It's quite strange

now its the NDPs that are yelling at Stephen Harper

[Kariakas]

Harper, the biggest sell out in Canadian history and he now has total control.

@324wilson If they went, those MP's would go too. Just not without a number of referendums and arguements. And since it's Canadian territory only the separatist areas would be freed. Typically an incredibly small area like Montreal or Quebec

[324wilson]

@TheRimDoctor ....especially given the NDP's huge surge in Quebec and no doubt they still have some MPs who have some sympathy with the separatist movement (including their interm leader.).

[324wilson]

@TheRimDoctor The NDP is not ready to form a government. They are still very close to the trade unions and such tactics will never appeal to the middle-classes.
