Harper's Tantrum

Only in Canada: Harper's prorogation is a Canadian thing


" It turns out, no other English-speaking nation with a system of government like ours — not Britain, Australia or New Zealand — has ever had its parliament prorogued in modern times, so that its ruling party could avoid an investigation, or a vote of confidence, by other elected legislators."

When little children don't want to deal with issues, they sometimes sit on the floor and plug their ears. By shutting down parliament, Harper is doing exactly the same thing. It's you and me he's refusing to listen to. It's another blow to democracy in this country.
For example, among other things, I want another Commissioner appointed to keep an eye on Harper's renegade federal RCMPolice, but Harper's sitting on the floor having a tantrum with his ears plugged. The above link is a good story to read, and it has a lot of good links.
