Parliament prorogued
- Thread starter Walter
- Start date
Do you have a source on this, cuz I didn't see any news in the last few minutes in regards to this except Harper meeting with her.
Never mind here it is:
GG agrees to suspend Parliament: PMO
GG agrees to suspend Parliament: PMO
Well that was a complete crock of sh*t.... he should have no right to be granted a delay in government so he can simply avoid a confidence vote, esspecially since it's so soon into the new government.
This whole democracy and country is a fkn' joke.
Not that it matters anyways, as it just delays things even longer of course and there is still the confience vote to come.... which gives both sides time to develop their approaches.
But it certainly pisses me off to know that the GG didn't even bother to meet the other parties face to face to get both sides of this argument before she made her decision.
That is, if this Con MP's sources are accurate that she did approve the delay.
Pretty pathetic game of politics is all I see here.
The last two elections were a complete joke and so is this.
Then again, it's not all that suprising I guess, since it's the only option she had to cover her own ass as best she could.

Another six wasted weeks - or time to dream up another "slick-willie" solution. His investments won't suffer. His kind will invest more at pennies for dollars values.... What about the guy who's laid off?

What she did was the ideal solution. If cooler heads can prevail, perhaps the main 3 Canadian parties can work together to come to some sort of compromise on the upcoming budget.

Everything that you see and do not completely agree with must be idiotic and stupid.
Everyone that does not enlist in your particular brand of politics is a fool to be sneered at.

She didn't give in to anything, Scratch. The way parliament has been of late, a break is needed. I want to see plans from both the coalition & harper for the economy, I think we deserve that.
I doubt you'll see plans, likely a super-mega attack campaign. So far with the conservatives, the onky content they like to offer is how awful all the others are
So what else does this statement include, I assume today was not the full extent and there is yet some moves to be played out before the end of January?
"Harper has pledged to use "every legal means" to prevent a Liberal-NDP coalition government, backed by the Bloc Québécois, from taking power."

What exactly is the good thing about pausing?
Our economic crisis can now get worse with NO ONE paying attention to it.
The problem will still be there when he gets back.
Even if the coalition falls appart, he still doesn't control parliment and all that means is another election instead of a government, meaning the economic situation still isn't being dealt with.
This is the worst situation. Either allow the coalition to govern or publically say if the government falls you will call an election and let the Coalition decide on confidence issues with that in mind.

Every legal means, hell define "Legal" as it pertains to the Conservatives 
Seriously, if Harper gets enough people frothing at the mouth about the "danger" our country is in he could pull out the damn War Measures act just like the last time time the separatists got uppity
He obviously has no problems suspending democratic process as it stands

I disagree with the decision and I think it was the wrong one.... stupid one if that..... that's my opinion, that's my view and that's how I see it.
You can believe and agree/disagree with whatever the hell you want, cuz I honestly don't give two craps from a whales arse.
I stated my opinion on the matter, you can deal with it just as I am dealing with other's opinions, whether or not I agree with them.
Even a former Gov General stated she shouldn't give him the delay and allow Democracy to do it's job and he explained himself quite well in his argument.
Which makes me feel that perhaps she doesn't have enough experience for her position.
Then again, I still have to hear her explination as to why she delayed government.
