I thought Cadman was already in Ottawa. Either Kilgour or Cadman will vote with the Tories/BQ.
Now then, what are the chances of some Liberal skulduggery in the form of cheating on the pairs?

Why won't someone 'pair' with him?
Who? In a party lines vote, which side should give up a crucial vote to make up for an independant who hasn't even indicated which way he'll vote?

A sincere one, I think, one who feels strongly about his position and is using his leverage to support his beliefs, not much different than the NDP have done.

But what I think should happen is Harper releases his Atlantic MPs so they don't incurr the wrath of their voters. However obviously I'm hoping he's too stupid to do that.

I find this highly unlikely.
Here in NL, there are 2 CPC MPs, Norm Doyle and Loyola Hearn, representing St. John's East and St. John's West respectively..
They have been raked over the coals something fierce over this vote. The budget contains the legislation for the Atlantic Accord money, and just about everybody and their dogs are saying vote for the budget. They even had Tony Valeri on the Open Line show today to put some pressure on them. Premier Williams wants them to vote for it.
They're taking heat for sure.

C-43 (Actual budget & 1st in voting order): Hearn & Doyle vote with the government. Grits survive and Atlantic Accord passes (Gives the NL&L MP's a feather in their cap)
C-48 ($4.6 Bln NDP buyout plan): Hearn, Doyle, Cadman, Kilgour against the Grits; government falls and we're off to the polls.

Took the words right off my keyboard. I like this guy's assessment.

Anyone know how people in Cadman's riding have reacted to all these latest Belinda shenanigans?
How does Kilgour feel about the Sudanese government's reaction to our troop proposal?

But, Martin was laughed at when he claimed the move was not about guaranteeing him victory in Thursday’s vote. “I’ve got to tell you, I can count,” Martin said to a round of laughter. “The significance is that on Thursday, members of Parliament will stand and will be counted in the most-watched vote of the last 25 years.”
Bravado?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the government falls the bill doesn't go to the senate and dies on their order paper doesn't it? Or do budgets go to the Senate?
