Narcoleptocracy

So the Al-Leged Jihadis wanted to storm Parliament? Maybe it would wake them up:

The House of Commons passed the Harper government's first budget early Tuesday, faster than expected.
The passage surprised everyone as the bill was quickly approved through a procedural move when no one rose in the Commons to resume debating the legislation.
"We did not anticipate the unanimous consent of the opposition to the budget," Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said, his face beaming.
"But I thank them. Thanks very much.''
Not realizing what had happened, after the legislation had passed third reading Conservative MP Diane Ablonczy stood to resume debating the bill.
Opposition critics did the same, only to be told by the Speaker that the legislation had already moved on.

Meanwhile, back at Queen's Park:

A goof by Premier Dalton McGuinty's Liberals puts him under official pressure from the Legislature to call an inquiry into his government's handling of the Caledonia crisis.
Despite being a majority, Liberal MPPs failed to vote down a harshly worded Progressive Conservative motion seeking a probe into how the government allowed Caledonia to escalate from a local problem to a "full-blown standoff"...
The vote was done by voice, with MPPs calling out "yay" or "nay." The "yays" were louder and not enough Liberals stood up quickly enough to force a recorded vote, which would have allowed more of their MPPs to rush to the Legislature to defeat the motion.

Rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop...
