CBC is reporting about this “anti-prorogation Facebook group“,
“More than 20,000 people have joined an anti-prorogation group on Facebook following Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s decision to suspend Parliament for two months until after the Vancouver Winter Olympics.
Christopher White told CBC News that he was upset by the prime minister’s decision to prorogue Parliament until March 3, and decided to create the Facebook group, Canadians Against Proroguing Parliament, urging people to contact their MPs to get back to work.
The group, which began last Wednesday, now has 20,312 members.
Very funny, interesting, and insightful look of prorogation by Rick Mercer.
Please join the anti-prorogation Facebook group to protect Canadian democracy and our Parliament before it is too late.
P.S. On Dec 30, 2009, I felt sad and powerless when the PM decided to shutdown the Parliament single-handedly until March.
