In the absence of evidence to the contrary, ITQ will blame this on the New Spirit of Cooperation ™, although we should note that we have also heard wild tales of PMO plans of a most cunning kind: an omnibus bill of a size and scope never before seen in Ottawa, currently pupating in the deepest reaches of Langevin, which will descend, plague of Egypt-style, on the House just before the Christmas break, on the theory that the Liberals, at the very least, won’t have the stomach to vote it down. (Hey, I warned you that it was wild; it would, however, explain the uncharacteristic legislative silence coming from Canada’s Newly Reelected Government.)
