Yes, Mr. Harper was outraged, outraged I tell you, when confronted with a twenty one page budget bill that contained nothing but budgetary matters. But he went on to table bills twenty times that size that trojan horsed changes to dozens of laws all under one budget bill. theglobeandmail/news/politics/in-praise-of-stephen-harper-the-opposition-mp-who-fought-omnibus-bills/article5661305/ And he also said those things about how terrible the patronage in the senate is. viableopposition.blogspot.ca/2013/02/quoting-stephen-harper-on-senate.html On March 14th 2004, he even expressly said I will not name appointed people to the senate. It was on his campaign website and everything. Strangely, that promise is gone from their websites today. unseatharper.ca/senate-appointments.php And then he went on to not only appoint senators, but appoint a majority of them, more than any other PM in history. I would be less horrified by the senate appointments if his appointed senators werent used to overturn legislation in the most egregiously partisan manner imaginable. youtube/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yV8zEjgZ8VE Hypocrisy? Like you wouldnt believe.
