She could have told Harper to get back to work. Instead she caved in again... Harper needs to wake up to the fact that not everyone in Canada voted for him and his "Conservatives". Check out the numbers. Remember that with this shutting down of Parliament, all the bills wending their way through committees etc, are now dead. This includes Harper's much vaunted crime bills.... Wake up Canada. Lets not forget the role that the Governor General played in this fiasco. She could have told Harper to get back to work. Instead she caved in again…

Harper has an agenda to keep control of everything and hoping for a majority in the next election. I also agree the real sad thing is that there is no viable parties out there. They are all self serving. Even if the election came now the voter turnout would probably be very low which is sad for the democracy we are supposed to be living in. "It has been observed that a pure democracy if it were practicable would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved that no position is more false than this. The ancient democracies in which the people themselves deliberated never possessed one good feature of government. Their very character was tyranny their figure deformity."

Harper proroguing Parliament is the most bizarre game of them all! And by the way, NO work is getting done while Parliament is out. The fact that the Conservatives believe that it is a good move proves once again that there only is contempt for the electorate within the party. Win at all costs...that's not democratic representation. What don’t you understand? Harper proroguing Parliament is the most bizarre game of them all!

Now that the bizzare games of parliament are off for awhile, maybe some real work can get done. Don’t understand the fuss!
