The interesting and key question is: Would the Tories allow Liberals to cross the floor considering their recent condemnation of the Stronach incident and their plans to reform the process to make doing that illegal. I would say no. They have to continue pretending to have ideals for at least a term or they'll go the way of the PC's fast. The Tories want to make crossing the floor illegal? Woah. I suppose they'll also want to make becoming an independent illegal as well, because there's no reason why any MP couldn't become an independent and just support the conservatives all the way or something. EDIT: Derek, the allegation that the conservatives made that the liberals had stacked the supreme court was made before 2004, which explains why I had read that there were more Conservative appointees on the court. Fair enough. I read on the NDP website that they want a by-election whenever an MP crosses the floor, so that their constituents can approve or disapprove of the switch.

According to my girlfriend (who plays sax, btw), it's because you're an arrogant trumpet player. What's your favourite stereotype?

Probably not. Is it ethical to download free music from file sharing networks?

The Killing Moon - Echo and the Bunnymen

Soul Vaccination - Tower of Power

Well, considering that 98% of the book is free on the internet already...it's really more of a collecter's item than anything else. Overall, it's pretty good. The Night Opus (I think that's what it's called) is the best, in my opinion.

http://www.scc-csc.gc.ca/aboutcourt/judges/curjudges_e.asp Only 2 judges have been appointed by the PC's. The last few were appointed in the summer of 2004, it seems.

I think that what Matt is saying is that there would be too many conflicts if all the voices held an equal share of the power. Right now we have four conflicting voices, but only one will hold power.

My conscience is a mean little fucker.

The jury's still out on that one.

I wouldn't disagree with you on that at all. It's never a good thing for a party to be in power for so long that it has all the "balances of power" (i.e. the supreme court, senate, etc) in their favour. I think another full term for the Liberals would have brought us dangerously close. The Senate is stacked in the Liberal's favour (although it is basically a castrated shell of a legislated body), but the Supreme Court is (to my knowledge) still populated by Mulroney picks. Which is a bit suprising considering their ruling on same sex marriage. I thought I read somewhere that the dissenters were the Mulroney picks and those who voted in favour were picked by Liberals. I could be wrong on this, though.

No. Would you eat a kitten?

I used to think like that, but now I'm largely indifferent. Ear buds (or jacks, I assume they're the same thing) really don't hurt my ears anymore or fall out. It's probably because my ears have remolded to fit around them perfectly.

I'm sure there's a joke to be made in there somewhere. ;)

One and the same, although if I was an American reader, I'd think to myself, "damn, if Kroeger hates him, he must be good." I'm not really a Nickelback fan ;) .

I wish I had a cupcake right now ;) .
