"In an explosive development leading up to Thursday's dramatic budget vote, Conservative MP Belinda Stronach has crossed the floor to join the Liberal Party as the new Human Resources Development Minister."

Thank You Ms.Stronach!

This would help Martin to see through the confidence vote and last in power for some more time. This would also lead him to spend the $69 million on hastening the citizenship process which he has promised to put on fast track.


As I would be in the citizenship application bandwagon some time next year, I want Martin to be in power till then atleast.

Speech by Thomas Friedman of The New York Times....

"When we were young kids growing up in America, we were told to eat our
vegetables at dinner and not leave them. Mothers said, 'think of the
starving children in India and finish the dinner.' And now I tell my
children: 'Finish your maths homework. Think of the children in India
who would make you starve, if you don't.'"
