It feels like just yesterday that the Conservative's pushed through a monstrous Omnibus bill totalling over 400 pages...oh wait, it was only 3 months ago! Now they're at it again with a budget bill that is expected to be even larger than the bill in the spring. I know our current government is not the first to do this and probably won't be the last, but what I find funny is that Harper once described Omnibus bills as undemocratic and a "contradiction to the conventions and practices of the House." Does that mean that Stephan Harper thinks of himself as undemocratic? Doubtful! I guess when the Liberals do it, it's undemocratic, but when the Conservatives do it, it's justice. Personally, I think it's ridiculous and so does Rick Mercer!
