His minority Parliament (29th) was prorogued after 418 days, Harper has proroged three times in a little over that. And the prorogation was not to avoid a confidence vote or a scandal of ministers lying to Parliament!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04505070758152821465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-45667734364086022742010-01-24T01:57:12.428-05:002010-01-24T01:57:12.428-05:00Yappa, your bias is obvious.

The Conservative spin machine is out there trying to convince you otherwise, but they're lying.<br /><br />Read this:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.montrealgazette.com/news/Only+Canada+Harper+prorogation+Canadian+thing/2448571/story.html" rel="nofollow">Only in Canada: Harper's prorogation is a Canadian thing</a><br /><br />The Conservtive Lie Machine keeps citing Chretien's 2003 prorogation as something similar. It was not. The November to January prorogue was done the day before Paul Martin took over as leader of the party, replacing Chretien. The purpose of prorogation is to finish one session of parliament so that the agenda can reset. A new prime minister taking over is exactly the sort of situation for which prorogation exists.<br /><br />Read this news story from the time:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2003/11/12/liberals031112.html" rel="nofollow">cbc.ca/canada/story/2003/11/12/liberals031112</a>Yappahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18126433451905766475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-11752410887989618682010-01-13T20:47:22.421-05:002010-01-13T20:47:22.421-05:00Why does Trudeau and Chretien keep getting mention...Why does Trudeau and Chretien keep getting mentioned ?<br /><br />People who just can't grasp the importance of why,reading this will explain it.<br /><br />From a Rex Murphy article<br /><br /><br />"nothing in these arguments justifies Mr. Harper’s most recent decision to prorogue Parliament. Indeed, the fact that Mr. Chrétien got away with a much longer prorogation in 2003 is one of the better arguments for attacking that decision. Because, if there’s one thing of which we can be certain, failure to criticize one erosion in our parliamentary system only makes it easier to do the same and more the next time around."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-6675293465479998892010-01-12T19:30:29.706-05:002010-01-12T19:30:29.706-05:00So Trudeau was in contempt of Parliament when he p...So Trudeau was in contempt of Parliament when he prorogued holoding only a minority government?<br /><br />----------------<br /><br />Yes<br /><br />Given the fact I was 1 to 4 years old the last time Trudeau had a minority, I don't really give a Rats behind about what Trudeau did either... <br /><br />Good griefAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-82103237241206184532010-01-12T12:02:49.838-05:002010-01-12T12:02:49.838-05:00tofu?tofu?Yappahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18126433451905766475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-47576703180653403972010-01-11T14:59:04.568-05:002010-01-11T14:59:04.568-05:00Hey Tofu,

Since the grits have held government for 70 of the past 100 years, that kind of goes to figure that they've prorogued the most times. But never once in our Parliament's history has any PM (grit or tory) ever prorogued to escape the opposition. Harper's created a new precedent.Tof KWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756310841374198056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-74233339914223472192010-01-10T12:33:29.318-05:002010-01-10T12:33:29.318-05:00wilson -
