If at first you don't succeed ...

Here we go again?

Later this month, when the Conservatives hold their policy convention in Winnipeg, guess what might land on their agenda?

Well, if the leaked Tory resolutions, found via National Newswatch, are any indication:

RESOLUTION P-207

NEW

Protecting Pregnant Women

PROPOSED BY PRINCE ALBERT AND SASKATOON HUMBOLDT

The Conservative Party supports legislation to ensure that individuals who commit violence against a pregnant woman would face additional charges if her unborn child was killed or injured during the commission of a crime against the mother.

Oh gee. And people accused me of being cynical when, on the eve of last month's election, the Cons took Bill C-484 off the table.

There were "certain articles that were of concern to us" Harper explained, referring to Bill C-484, the " Unborn Victims Act."

Snort.

So, if it was "of concern," why did it make it past second reading, only to be cynically aborted in its third trimester, on the eve of the election? How did it get so far?

So yeah, Mr. Harper. You must think us lady voters are really stupid.

Oh noooooeeezzzzz! I just hate how we have to fight the same damn battle over and over again. They're trying to wear us down, aren't they? Just hoping we won't notice as they slip one by. Well, thank god we've got you.

We need a law to protect women from Conservatives.

Will the Liberals please, please get their s*** together so we can have a non-confidence vote and get these jerks out of office? I have my fingers crossed that the current American fashion for change in politics will make its way up here.

Disclaimer: I don't actually vote Liberal. I just know the minority government will stand until they have a leader they're willing to campaign under.

*sigh* They never give up, do they?

Well, this time we'll be ready for them.
