Canadian History Made with Parliament Prorogation
Canadian history has been made and future references for precedence set. The governor general has suspended parliament based on the request of a sitting prime minister.
This decision will undoubtedly fire the opposition in whichever form they take, coalition or individual parties, as they challenge Stephen Harper and his Conservatives on seemingly undemocratic and unfair reply to the situation. The simple fact of the matter is everything that has happened has been well within the rules of the parliamentary system we live under.
The fact that should upset Canadians most on each side of the partisan line is that each party has done what they did with only their own party’s best interest in mind. The interest of Canada is the furthest thing from the mind of anyone in this current prorogued parliament.
