That Douchebag Pat O'Brien is hinting at toppling the government
Edited on Tue Jun-14-05 04:07 PM by HEyHEY
Tonight.


Independent M-P Pat O'Brien is hinting he'll vote against the government tonight on a confidence motion in the House of Commons.
The C-B-C says the former Liberal might vote against his old party when the minority government faces at least five votes on the federal budget.
He's also saying an unnamed Liberal may vote against the government.
O'Brien has been upset with the government's plans to legalize same-sex marriage.
He wants a promise the gay-marriage bill won't pass this spring, and says he'll keep negotiating with Liberal officials in the hours before voting begins. (14)
