The Pro-Rogue of Parliament

An animated protest video about Steven Harper's prorogation of Parliament.

And it's got a singing beaver too!!!

If Stephen Harper thought that no one would notice his roguish move to shut down Parliament than he was just dead wrong wasn't he. Even the beavers noticed and their singin' mad about it!

Follow Beaver-Boy on his Vaudevillian tour of Ottawa as he dispenses punchy musical irony aloft his all-terrain unicycle.

Animation by Frank Forrestall and Music by Nick Bevan-John.

Why did none of the major media outlets piss and moan the several times J-C prorogued Parliament over even more questionable transgressions than the Harper government is guilty of?

I just can't take this anti-prorogration shit seriously. It has nothing to do with being pro-democratic and everything to do with lib-left West Coast and Central Canadians still being uncomfortable with a Conservative administration, erroneously believing they have the sole right to define what being Canadian is.

Sorry, I didn't mean to remove your last retort I meant to hit "reply" not "remove"...

I'll agree though. Media should have made a better point of highlighting past abuses of Prorogation. I didn't make this to uplift any particular party. In fact I'm disappointed in most of the parties and their complicity in making Parliament such a circus last year. Hopefully with this furor they'll all start to work together a bit better.

Thanks for weighing in!

This is fantastic. Good work. How long did it take to do this? Just my humble o... I think the captioning should have been stuck at the bottom all at once and not added word by word, I found that distracting ;)

Thanks for the feedback :)

I started it in mid January but it went through a lot of stalls and changes and I ended up rushing a lot of it in the last three weeks. You're probably right about the text; it was kind of a last minute thing.

Help viralize! Send it to everyone you know!

Retard. Stupidity has no explanation, and there's no cure for it. Just keep toadying along to your fatass Torontonian parasite, Harper. We won't miss you.

[Flemtar]

It's ok.

This is a clever and well-made video nonetheless.

absolutely BRILLIANT. Well done. And of course more more....

"Prorogation (rhymes with vacation)" LOL

Very good. Lots of stuff in there (like the Mordorization of the tar sands for example--funny!). I gave it 5 stars.

(just one little thing: in the credits you have "who's" instead of "whose")
