Ottawa, May 19, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A little after 6 p.m. today Canada’s corrupt Liberal government managed to avoid a non-confidence result from the vote on a key amendment to its budget vote. Thanks to independent MP Chuck Cadman, who voted for the amendment, and especially Belinda Stronach, whose defection from the Conservatives made the crucial difference, the speaker was able to cast a tie-breaking deciding vote for the Liberal amendment.
An election had thus been avoided for now. As well, the chances of Bill C-38, the marriage redefinition bill, now being passed into law in the near future, increases significantly. The pro-same-sex marriage stacked committee has indicated that it will severely limit public input into its proceedings and will attempt to ram the bill through as quickly as possible.
