Undemocratic Senate Proposes Undemocratic Bill

Well, the wheel continues to turn. Not to beat a horse to death, but I just had to comment on the latest Liberal tactic to deal with the Tory attack ads targeting Ignatieff. Now they've sicked a senator on an unsuspecting public. That's right! They don't like the way the Tories are expressing their right to free speech so they're trying to introduce a new censorship bill in the senate.

Liberal senator Dennis Dawson introduced a bill today to force political parties to include all advertising produced in the three months prior to an election as an election expense. Apparently, the best way to deal with criticism is to ban it! They offered some lame excuse, suggesting their actions were an attempt to even the playing field. The truth of the matter is they have employed the same tactics themselves when they were in a better financial position. The ads must be having their desired effect!
