I picked up tickets today from my MP and will be sitting in the public galleries tomorrow to watch the whole thing unfold. I don't think Kilgore will vote with the Government, Martin basically shut him out by not increasing, on paper at least, the Canadian commitment to Darfur. The fact that the Sudanese Government has rejected the offer aside. As for Cadham he says he is going to wait till after the debate to decide, I know he was polling his home riding, and from some of the polls i have seen in his riding, by Canwest i believe, it looks like if he follows the will of his constituents he will be voting with the official opposistion. I think perhaps the biggest thing will be the Conservative East coast MP's who are being pressured by the provincial governments to vote with the Liberals in order to solidify the Atlantic Accord. Eitehr way it will be an extremly interesting day on the Hill. For the last week all of the pubs downtown have changed their TV's from TSN and Sportsnet to CPAC, perhaps that is an indicator of how important tomorrow will be. Either way if the Government loses we have an election and most likly another minority, If the government wins we remain with a stalemated parliament. Lose/Lose if you ask me.
