This is not good. I definitely think this is a problem. A Liberal MP is having an "upcoming fundraiser by film, video game and music executives". This is the same MP (Sarmite Bulte) that tabled Bill C-60 which gives more power to music and film industries seeking protection from Internet piracy. Luckily the bill died when the election was called.

She says:

"Nobody influences me. Nobody can buy me.''

There was a bill that was passed in government that amended the Criminal Code last November that changed consecutive sentence for use of firearm in commission of offence.
Interesting to note Stephen Harper was absent. The majority of Liberals said Nay but about 34 said yes, all Conservatives said yes and the NDP said yes. The Bloc said nay.
Oh yes Harper, you are so for changing the criminal code to make for harsher penalties. Where the hell were you?

I watched the debate last night. I thought they all did a good job.

In my mind Martin and Layton won, but it seems to be that it is evenly split around the country who won the debate.
My favourite quote is from Duceppe - "I think they should realize that if there's poor children, it is certainly because their parents are poor". Wow, thank you Obi-Wan.

Actors were trying to get some money from the politicians on Wednesday in Toronto. Colin Mochrie, Sonja Smits and Wendy Crewson were there speaking their minds.

Colin talked about his experience working in the U.S. and the differences between that and working in Canada.
