NDP Leader Jack Layton accused the prime minister Wednesday of ordering Conservative senators to kill a climate-change bill, the day after a surprise vote in the Red Chamber ended in the legislation’s defeat.
A number of Liberals were not in the Senate when the vote occurred, and the bill died with a tally of 43-32.
Oh Crap, now they woke up Jack The Weasle. Huffin and puffin hot air that will add to Gorebal’s hot air tax gab.
Good! Finally the Senate does something useful and important to Canadians, E Not being elected or equal notwithstanding!
I can just see Jacko all bristling and outraged at this scam getting the slap down it needed.
Layton, like all Leftards, is a poor loser.
Prentice gone, Senators vote to kill climate change bill …
Hey! There’s been a change in the weather … someone should write a song!
Jack is never going to defeat Harper if he keeps giving him good publicity like that! Harper threw out a Climate Change bill? Thank God! Some of Harper’s base were starting to think that Stevie drank the Kool-Aid too!
Oh joy, there is common sense finally in the land. Just to see Taliban Jack’s little pursed lips sputtering as the conservatives outmaneuvered him again makes my day. Harper is patient, clever and far seeing as he moves Canada into sanity and gets rid of this scam and fraud called global warming/climate change/climate disruption.
What was that sound…David Suzuki’s head just exploded
Dave: “What was that sound…David Suzuki’s head just exploded”
Coupled with the chorus of farting, belching contented cows in the pasture knowing that CO2 emissions measurement police will leave them in peace next summer.
that odious silly little man….what a good living he’s made for himself and his goofy wife pandering to a mob of social workers social parasites aroma therapists dipshits and teachers with their collective heads up their asses..
let’s be honest here jack me lad…YOU don’t believe 10% of the shite you spew..
OMG, now the CBC is harping on the unelected Senate vs. elected MPs.
I don’t remember their singing this tune when the Liberal$ were the majority.
How ironic that it’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper who’s been promoting an elected Senate, and the Liberal$ wouldn’t bite. Now that the shoe’s on the other foot, the Left and their lapdogs in the media are howling.
As far as NDP Linda Duncan’s whining that Canada will now be given penalties because they haven’t met Kyoto deadlines: SO WHAT? BOO HOO.
I’m really enjoying the Left’s discomfort at having their collective bluff called. ‘Looks good on them. They’re so unused to it they’re looking like deer caught in the headlights, they’re struck dumb.
Sweet.
But it appears that Jack got to pass his new “penis” legislation — so maybe it was a trade-off.
Don’t ask me what the legislation was — something about sex again, I think it must about the 27,000th piece of legislation on sexual rights introduced by the NDP. The NDP remind of 11 year old’s who just discovered their penis: “look mommy, my wee-wee got hard”.
ricardo, re your comments about the NDP’s fixation on sex: They all seem to be confused. I often wonder about Jack and about Olivia and about their union and about their obsession with sexual dysfunctions and trying to normalize them.
Sober second thought. Sounds like the Senate did its job.
What is it with Lefties and “Five year plans”? Every time I hear that phrase I am reminded of China’s great leap forwards and peasants smelting iron in their front yards.
“Prime Minister Stephen Harper who’s been promoting an elected Senate, and the Liberal$ wouldn’t bite.”

At this point in time it would be a mistake to get sidetracked by opening the constitution and amending the construction of the senate.
Senate change has to come at the provincial level.
The First Ministers have to choose to hold senate elections because they care about furthering democracy then after senators-in-waiting have been elected Prime Minister Harper or whomever holds the office can appoint them when the opportunity arises.
Hopefully the Premiers will comply and provincial elections of senators will become a tradition.
Once all of the provinces are electing their senators then maybe the First Ministers can come together to amend the section of the constitution that deals with the Upper Chamber.
Baby steps.
I’m really enjoying watching the NDP melt down, hay Jack I feel the self same anger over you and your wife’s 1/2 million expense accounts.
Rose, Jacko and Ollie spent over half a million each, a lot more.
But, hey, they’re concerned about “working families.” I figure their only concern is that we “working families” continue to work in order to pay for the lifestyle to which they’ve become accustomed.
Canada’s new Royal Couple: The Duke and Duchess of Kensignton. (They sound like good puppet characters. Who’s pulling their strings?)
That’s OK with me, Oz.
Jack is just using this for attention. No shock.
Don’t kid yourselves – both the Libs and the Cons knew full well what they were doing by stacking the senate so as to ensure defeat of this ridiculous piece of rubbish legislation – they have read all the polls on public opinion shifting away from the warmists.
In some ways, this is extremely encouraging – no matter what the Libs and Cons say publicly about climate change, the sensible ones on both sides can see the climate change shell game is clearly over. The defeat of this legislation will allow both sides to move on to other issues to position themselves on.
As Kate says – Y2Kyoto – We’re Winning!
Sure could use a bit of that global warming right now.
a 25% reduction from our 1990 GhG levels would mean a target of 445k Mt.
For 2010, Canada will produce about 800k Mt of Ghg.
Here’s the percentage ownership of GhG production by major industrial sectors:
Agriculture 10.00%
Petro, Chemicals 22.00%
Electrical Production 16.00%
Transportion – ALL 22.00%
Heavy Industry 15.00%
Service Industry 8.00%
Residential 7.00%
Play around – you can build a very simple spreadsheet – until you get the 800k Mt reduced to 444k Mt. Start cutting GhG’s form various sectors of the economy. Think of the massive job losses and the resulting economic disaster that would result.
And Whacko Jacko thinks this bill would be good for our economy.
Someone should hit him upside the head to see how load the echo is.
Notice how Jacko’s all ‘undemocratic’ over this slap in the yap, but seems to be strangely quiet when the ‘long gun registry’ vote was downed.
Oh, this is just beautiful. My, my, the Duke Taliban Jack the First doth protest extremely.
Now if only the Saskatchewan government would also wake up to Al Gore’s scam.
Now it appears that the bill was defeated because of a procedural mistake on the part of the Liberals and not some clever orchestrated plan of Harpers. Apparently the Liberals defeated a motion to stand the bill (delay voting on it) and thereby forced it to an immediate vote. Hahahahaha.
Senator LeBreton was far too polite to that interviewer from CTV.
Remember how you guys use to rail against the Senate? Called it anti-democratic?
You are now required to shut up forever and ever.
Hypocrisy at its finest.
Clever….
The libranos are stupid like a fox…it was deliberate…and probably gave Harper the heads up, to make it happen.
Remember the Libranos did squat about KYOTO ……..because they knew it’s cost and that it was BS….hoping it would go away.
Now they slam dunked this stupidity and can walk away with clean hands, getting a pass from the CBC.
Like I always say they are the most adept and the most corrupt politicians in Canada.
Oh John, you are so funny having temper tantrums like a 5 year old. Come to think of it, the left is stuck in permanent childhood….
Harper is a master tactician who has managed to sucker Iggy and Jacko time after time…. we will get sanity in this great Dominion and perhaps force overgrown leftie kids like John to grow up and take charge of his own life, little by little….. the left is like the frog in water… won’t realize they’re done for until it’s too late.
Oh and John, accusations of hypocrisy: rocks, glass houses and all that. A look in the mirror may be in order.
My point exactly, sasquatch (see earlier post),
I’m sure John and his ilk are against corporate welfare.
What bigger corporate welfare scheme is there than subsidizing windmills, electric cars, solar panels, etc., etc. blah blah.
A great day for the taxpayer.
Remember how you guys use to rail against the Senate? Called it anti-democratic?
No.
I don’t recall.
As an Albertan, I’ve been in favour of a EEE Senate since the late ’80s, still am.
The triple E Senate was a major plank in the Reform Party Blue Book.
You must be confusing SDA with the NDP sites you hang out at.
It’s the NDP that wants to scrap the senate, not conservatives.
Yes, the senate could be reformed and made more democratic like they did in Australia.
Anti-democratic would be someone wanting to scrap the senate and concentrate power in the Lower Chamber.
That was one of the funniest clips I’ve ever seen .
Fred, do you not realize that putting in curly little bulbs that produce terrible light will take us back down to 1990 levels? Did you miss the mandatory Global Warming indoctrination?
Just kidding of course. Thanks for posting those numbers. I’m an engineer and so I like seeing facts and figures. I am delighted that Canada is at 800k Mt of Ghg, and I will do my bit to bump it higher tonight by turning the heat up.
I didn’t realize agriculture was 10%. I suppose idiots like Jack Layton want us to go back to ploughing fields with cattle, and milling wheat by hand.
John you would make a good global warming scientist as you are able to make extrapolations using one data point.
Someone send Jack the I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends, by Stephen Harper vid .
From the CTV report: “Earlier Wednesday, environmentalists decried the results of the vote, saying the government is now headed into the upcoming United Nations climate talks in Cancun, Mexico, without a climate-change plan.”
Yes, yes, hooray! I’m having a few extra beers tonight, and I’ll make sure they were shipped from as far away as possible.
I’m lazy , but a giver .This one .
Jack and Olivia, Serial Kleptocrats
So, another huge climate-change conference scheduled in Cancun in December! What, was Whitehorse or Anchorage fully booked already??
F’n a-holes. Can’t believe they can be that brazen, do they not see the hypocracy?
Oh wait, silly me. Of course they do! It’s obviously only about the gravy train.
Here souwie, souwie, souwie…. Oink, oink.
When this bill was passed by the HoC I was kind of hoping the government’s five year plan would be to cut equalization payments by 90% and use the money to build nuclear plants…but today’s result will do, too.
Comedy gold (and excellent news for Canada’s future prosperity).
Taliban Jack LaytoNDP’s head will explode again.
Here’s the bullet:
““The focus is not going to be climate,” he said. “The climate debate has, at least for two years, has ended with this election.””

“Climate Skeptic Seeks Energy Committee Chairmanship
nytimes.com ^ | Nov. 16, 2010 | JOHN COLLINS RUDOLF
In January, the Republican Party will take control of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, giving the new majority considerable influence over federal energy policy and climate change regulation and legislation. By virtue of seniority, Fred Upton of Michigan is considered the likeliest candidate to head the committee.
But dark horse candidates are also vying for the chairman’s gavel, among them John Shimkus of Illinois, vice chairman of the Republican Party’s Congressional campaign committee.

Could someone please put up a link to Jacko having his tantrum in the HOC?
I’ve clicked on the above CTV link and even though the video still shows Jacko in full umbrage, the video has only Senator Margery Lebreton being interviewed. No Jack in sight — or within earshot.
CTV must have heard me. I went back to the video and … heeeeeeere’s Jacko!
Today is Climategate Anniversary I.

Oz @ 7:41, agreed.
The green fraud has been gutted. Good news.
Jack is just upset about being irrelevant.
GOOD! finally some good news! Now Harper, don’t go wrecking this bit of great news for us with some other stupid legislation. PLEASE.
Poor Jack. The Senate blocked his attempts to enact legislation that would guarantee that “working families” did their duty: namely, to work for Jack and his coterie of Green cronies.
So sad.
Not.
