In the nick of time

Ted Morton's bigotry bill didn't quite make it through to third reading today due to procedural tactics from the opposition parties - and Alberta's Cons are indignant that the opposition wouldn't be complicit in their attempt to give the bill fast-track treatment in order to get it passed this session.

Kudos to Alberta's opposition for standing up for equality today. And while this is far from a first for the Alberta Cons, hopefully the opposition parties will win enough praise in the province to make the Con government think twice before again trying to legislate prejudice.
