Protest against Harper Proroguing Parliament - Ottawa, January 23, 2010

Ignatieff and Layton address thousands outside parliament in Ottawa today - protesting Harpers s decision to prorogue Parliament until March 3rd. Harper claims this allows time to create an economic action plan, but the real reason may be more about avoiding awkward inquiries into decisions around Afghan detainees which could find Harper a war criminal. In the outcry, 200,000 have joined a facebook group.

That was a good demonstration. I liked Jack Laytons speach more than Ignatiefs. It's too bad Bob Raye didn't speak. But none the less next election we all know what to do.

Jack had a better speach and michael's a corporate fascist. Who to vote for? None of the above. Scary........Do they are work for corporate interests? Maybe we should all eradicate proabition on marijuana and get Mark out of jail so he can be are next priminister...Free Mark Emery and hemp create a massive grass roots hemp revolution. Soveirnty and solidarity should be our focus!
