we're like women on their period, we know that we're irritable, but all hell breaks loose if you tell us to our face.

Why does such an unpopular party (Conservatives) get re-elected twice and, most recently, to a majority? A party that receives only 39% of the popular vote should NOT be governing with a majority.

@34601k Member of Parliament.

WHats an mp

@onexeyed If he tries to eliminate democracy, he should be arrested, regardless if he leads a political party or government. I remember a quote "When the law ends, tyranny begins.".  True Canadians should be more vigilant when it come to respect for our type of democracy or a tyranny would take over.

[onexeyed]

Proof of the polls, the longer parliament is prorogued support for the Liberals are rising. Even the polls are saying the dedicated Conservative aren't supporting Parliament's prorogued. Harper needs to stand up like a real man and deal with the detainee abuse and Canadians do care about our MPs because WE pay their salaries. Or maybe its Harper's "hidden agenda" is to eliminate democracy?

[GADavenport]

Big deal! So Harper prorogued the house. This might just be an opprtunity for some of these politician to mature. They are ALL to divisive and had better start pulling together. The whole bunch are all self-serving and partisan. Ignatieff is NOT a leader. Layton is NOT a leader. Harper is just the best of a bad lot. Who in their right mind would want to be in politics anyway!

Harper will defeat himself. I jsut hope people don't have their normally short political memories.

[penelopeatblue]

As you say. "Someone in charge just did something really stupid". But Canadians aren't that stupid. We get that Harper & his antics are a threat to our democracy. Look out next election Stephen. You just woke some very angry Canadians up.

Rick - you're RIGHT ON!!

@Mrdudelg I think its all one shot, so it probably took a few takes, but Mercer's pretty good so..
