And parliament begins!

Relevant link

Well, the new session of parliament began today with the selection of a "new" speaker.  And of course by new, what I really mean is old.  Although Milikan is well respected as speaker, I think switching things up would have made things better.  I have watched question period, and it is pretty disgusting.  I would like to see a speaker who is not afraid to kick out those who are causing a ruckus.  You can't make things better with sarcasm.

Anyways, tomorrow is the throne speech.  I doubt there will be any hardballs here as I don't imagine Harper is going to want to have an election anytime soon, and is going to need an opposition that is not going to be pissed.
