Today is another sad day in Canadian history and for Canadian democracy. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has decided it fits his political interests to shutdown the parliament and don’t reopen it until March 3rd (delay from the scheduled date of Jan 25th). The PM’s action is amount to holding in contempt the democratic process and tradition in Canada and turning prorogation into his favourite toy & tool to avoid being held accountable by parliamentarians elected by Canadians from sea to sea.
