MP O'Brien throws wrench into night of confidence votes
MP O'Brien throws wrench into night of confidence votes
Last Updated Tue, 14 Jun 2005 15:16:20 EDT

London-Fanshawe MP Pat O'Brien has issued an ultimatum, saying he and an unnamed Liberal MP will vote against the minority Liberal government in a series of confidence votes Tuesday night unless the same-sex marriage bill is delayed.

O'Brien, who left the Liberal caucus to sit as an Independent earlier this month over the gay-marriage issue, told CBC News that he will continue negotiating with Liberal officials in the hours before the voting begins at 10 p.m. EDT.

He wants a promise in writing that the passage of the same-sex marriage bill will not happen until after Parliament resumes in the fall.

O'Brien did not say which Liberal MP is joining him in seeking the delay.

Typical idiot. Doesn't know who Caesar is.
The means justify the end character.

1. Harper is about to get punked
Which leader is in the mid to low 20's? Who has an army of successors and empty coffers? Who's members dropped down from 5th into reverse after the 19th? The answer certainly isn't Paul Martin.

3. I've met him
Idiot self-serving windbag. He was at the annual function where my fiancee works. Even Hulk Hogan didn't promote himself as obnoxiously as this guy did.

4. Why can't we use the "C" word on DU?
It'd be soooo fitting

5. Well, that got nowhere...
Harper and the NeoCons were so terrified of WINNING a no-confidence vote that they pulled the rug right out from under Douchebag O'Brien. :rofl:

How very enjoyable! Wonder if he'll crawl out from under his rock today. :popcorn:

6. I've been blasting his office with calls

Makes me sick to my stomach that he would put this budget at risk because he's a bigot....he's holding this country hostage for his own selfishness.
