Once again, the Opposition parties have shown how out of touch they really are. How petty, how mean, and how disgusting they are. They claim the high ground, they claim (with some reason) that the Conservatives are mean spirited and petty. And then they go and boycott the non-partisan ceremony yesterday marking the 20th anniversary of the Dec. 6 l'Ecole Polytechnique massacre.
They claim it is because they can't stand beside a Minister that represents a government that has "rolled back the fight for women's equality and safety". They specifically argue that the Conservative policies of abolishing the gun registry, and the reduction in budget to the Status of Women program.
It is of course all a crock.
Liberal and NDP MPs voted with the government to abolish the gun registry. Does this mean the Liberals and the NDP are anti-women? The gun registry would do nothing to protect women in an event.
The reduction of funding to the Status of Women program was not a reduction in funding to women's programs in general. In fact, the Conservative Government took that 5 million from the SoW, and an an additional 5 million and put that into other women's programs that are aimed at directly serving women, such as a programs aimed at integrating immigrant women in major cities.
The odd thing is that 14 parlimentarians and staff including NDP MP Libby Davis, and Liberal MP Judy Sgro placed white roses in vase to represent the 14 women gunned down that fateful day. No Bloc MP bothered to show up at all.
Simply disgusting politics, I am sure somehow Warren and others will blame the Conservatives for this.

These peoples are just simply morons! If the government criticizes the opposition of being anti semitic they go nuts,but they have no problem at all of accusing the government being against women. What a bunch of hogwash if you ask me! If I could only harness the crap that sometimes comes out of the opposition Mps I would be able to use it for my garden.
The irony is that these women are behaving in the same way as those they claim to be fighting. They have shown intolerence and hatred. They hate anybody who has voted Conservative including women who voted Conservative in greater numbers than any other party.
The PQ members pretend to be concerned about womens rights but they would take away the greatest right that women have;Canadian citizenship.
They are bitter people who have nothing left to offer. Let them boycott. Better yet have them boycott all their duties and we wouldn't have to bother about them anymore.

Why is anyone shocked the opposition are getting their tails kicked day after day. The public relations effort and Polls demostrate the failure of the opposition to make any gains.
Why did anyone think the opposition are not going to over react again?
Because we aspire to politics not being all about 'gotcha', and actually being about policy.
