In Alberta the only MP who might be an issue should be Linda Duncan (NDP - Strathcona). It would be worth hammering her with faxes/e-mails as it is too late for snail mail - just don't be rude - it doesn't do us any good. Having said that she hasn't answered any of the letters I've sent her way recently.... Traditionally parties permit a free vote on Private Member's Bill's but I'm curious to see how "free" it will be (fax and e-mail Ignatieff and Layton - it's their final decision). I'm hoping that enough Lieberal's and NDP's stay home with the flu that it passes this vote. From all I've gleaned the difficulties will arise when 391 goes into committee - many are worried that it will stall there and ultimately die at the next election call. However the first hurdle is to pass the vote tomorrow.
