Tories Thrown Out of Chamber

Bill Murdoch and Randy Hillier, both Progressive Conservative MPPs were suspended from the Legislature on Monday because of their unruly protest against a McGuinty proposed harmonized sales tax. Murdoch refused to leave the chamber after he was ejected for using "unparliamentary language." Use your imagination. He was so fortunate to have two of his fellow PC MPPs stand in front of him and protect him from the guard on duty. Needless to say, Murdoch, and his most loyal crony Hillier are suspended from the Legislature for the rest of the session. The next session doesn't begin until the government decides to prorogue parliament and begin a new session with a speech from the Throne. It is entirely possible this won't happen until the next election in 2011. An interesting bias in the article was that the writer made the PC MPPs seem like martyrs for Ontarian tax payer, while not mentioning anything about the benefits or ideas behind McGuinty's proposed harmonized sales tax.
