...and I'll respect you in the morning.

Remember the three great statements people said but no one believed?

Well, add a new one to that:  the "we don't have a quorum" excuse for cancelling a meeting that every single member knew about weeks ago and committed to attend.

We know they committed to attend because the news release announcing the meeting was issued just this past Monday.

The problem seems to be on the government side.  The last meeting turned into a political fiasco  - a national political fiasco - with the three Provincial Conservatives following orders and playing the pettiest of petty politics with funding for the official opposition.

That bit of nastiness happened when the official government pollster - Corporate Research Associates  - was doing other things so maybe given that CRA is in the field as we speak, the government members don't want anything but the happiest of happy news out there to upset the polling.

We should at least we should be grateful they used the quorum nonsense.  They might have said they couldn't have a meeting because Trevor had to wash his hair that afternoon.
