Not so fast Joker with SENATE VOTE TONIGHT
Not so fast Joker with SENATE VOTE TONIGHTNot so fast Joker with writing of SENATE VOTE tonight which if defeated would end MJ Bill C45 FOR NOW.... If defeated ( which I don't expect will be ) would basically force Trudeau and the Liberals to re-introduce a NEW BILL which would delay this entire process for another 6 months to 1 year. But let me explain and I base my explanation on my over 35 years working in Government and in Politics. The Canadian SENATE is made up of 105 Senate Seats... 33 of which are CONSERVATIVES and for those who follow politics, CONSERVATIVES do vote in a unified way ( all 33 Conservatives will vote against this second reading of Bill C35 ) A MAJORITY is required which is basically 53 VOTES. So "IF" some of the INDEPENDANT VOTES move over to join the Conservatives and "IF" some of the Independent votes fail to show up for this important vote, then yes, Bill C45 is in jeopardy. So a total of 105 eligible votes comprised of 43 Independents, 33 Conservatives, 11 LIBERALS, 6 Non-Affiliated, and 12 seats are vacant.. A majority vote is 53 votes... Note: Independent Senators tend to vote LIBERAL, however, some Independents may not support Bill C45 and some will not be attending. THIS VOTE WILL BE CLOSE and it's worth your while to watch the SENATE VOTE at 6pm this evening.... My prediction: This will be passed but BARELY.... Stay tuned... If this passes ( and I believe it will ) look for a VERY GREEN DAY tomorrow... I do believe part of the RED day today aside from profit taking and pullback was a result of this important Senate vote about to happen......GLTA....
