The Globe and Mail:

Government House Leader Peter Van Loan is accusing the opposition parties of hypocrisy as the House returns after a week-long break. Not exactly a great beginning to the five-week stretch MPs face before the Christmas holiday.

Mr. Van Loan notes that at the same time as the NDP and Liberals accuse him of shutting down debate with time allocation and closure motions, they are trying to stop any of his bills going forward.

Was hoping that with a majority they would stop their constant whining. It's going to be a long 4 years.

Bullies don't like it when their victims start to fight back.

Tories on the attack?
Sun has also risen in the east today...

This is embarassing. They have a majority governement, stacked senate, newly minted numbers in the supreme court and can do pretty much whatever they want with only 40% popular support.... and the first thing they do is launch a pointless attack in preperation for the next election in 4 years. The Tories are the eternal opposition, they can't fathom that they no longer need to smear and slander to get what they want. You lot have begged for a decade for a taste of power and oh how you'll make Canada a glory land with it, so... use it to govern and stop screwing around like every six months we are forced to go back to the polls.
