"Senators voted 48-44 against the changes made by opposition members of its finance committee to Bill C-9 and passed the legislation without amendments."

There are 105 seats in the Senate, the Con's now have 52 seats. The vote was 48 - 44. So, how about a breakdown: Con, Lib, independent (other?) of the voting, absentees, abstentions, etc.

Who ever tough that Harper would be in power long enough to appoint enough Senators to have a majority in the Senate. Of course, if you believed Harper, who would have thought that he would appoint anyone to the Senate at all.

We're being Con'd by Stephen Harper once again. This 'Budge Bill' should never have been tabled in the first place. What about next time, and hopefully there won't be a next time, what will Harper put in his Budget Bill

Now the only thing that can keep Harper in check, is 'We The People".

All Canadians need to give Harper and his Con's a sober second thought.
