Former Liberal MP Pat O’Brien says that he’ll vote against the budget bills with another unnamed Liberal MP unless Paul Martin retreats from fast-tracking of bill C-38 (SSM) through the House before the summer recess.

So, let’s make some predictions for the outcomes tonight:

Paul Martin caves to O’Brien: 2:1
Tom Wappel is the unnamed Liberal: 3:2
Any regularly attending Conservative MP is absent with “the flu”: 3:1
A few (2+) like-minded Liberals join with O’Brien to bolster his vote: 4:1
Belinda Stronach crosses the floor and then crosses back again: 1:1

UPDATE: Government survives all confidence votes. Closest vote was 153-149. Back to corruption as usual.

Here’s part two of my interview that I conducted with Monte Solberg last week. In this section Monte answers questions on MSM bias, rising stars in the Conservative Party, what he would do as Minister of Finance, and more!

Listen to part 2 of 3 of my interview with Monte…

I will post part the final installment tomorrow and perhaps some bonus tape (pre-interview) as well. My interview with Andrew Scheer will likely be posted on Thursday and/or Friday (I may split it into two parts)

During my Ottawa trip last week, I had the opportunity to interview the finance critic of the Conservative Party of Canada, and fellow Blogging Tory Monte Solberg. Monte was gracious enough to answer questions concerning the Blogging Tories, the influence of the Blogging Tories, his role in the Blogosphere, on Grewal-gate, on the future direction of the Conservative Party and more!

Listen to part 1 of 3 of my interview with Monte…
