Mostly irritation. With media coverage that seems to suggest it was somehow illegal, which it's not, it's a perfectly normal and legitimate way to end a session. With Liberals trying to claim the moral high ground as if this were some outrageous ethical failing on Harper's part, which it's not, it's just political opportunism and they've done it too. With our political system that allows so much power to be concentrated in the PMO; I think a better idea might be to have the MPs choose the PM after the House has been elected. That would mean they could also remove him and pick another one without the government falling. And with Harper himself for doing it, in what I perceive to be a pretty high handed and cynical move to shut down a committee investigation he didn't like. I'm feeling increasing sympathy with some graffitti I once saw spray painted under a bridge in Saskatoon: Don't vote, it only encourages them.Indignation or indifference?
You do not stop parliament in order to stop questions when in fact the answers are very damaging politically to HARPER AS WELL DAMAGING FOR CANADA MOVING US UP ON THE TERRORIST SH!T .
No it is not normal, to stop parliament because of a cowardly approach to serious politics. Not childish politics, SERIOUS POLITICS IS WHAT HARPER CAMPAIGNED ON, HE HAS DONE THE OPPOSITE.
Hey Risus good to see you again,
Well, look at what happened to the Liberals they got voted out in 2004, what makes you think Harper should stay in power and get a majority because he is worst then Chrétien .? At list Chrétien left the Country in a far better position then Harper will. So where do we go from here?
Smartest thing you've ever posted.Lets give Harper a majority to see what real THUG POLITICS IS ALL ABOUT.:roll::x

Chretien didn't have a recession to deal with, Stephen Harper does.
Sadly this is true , there's not one party there that does.A report I read this morning claims more than 40% of Canadians are not happy with this proroguing of parliament, calling it an attack on democracy. But due to apathy they chose to remain at home when the protests were called a few days ago.
Here's the link.
With the Conservatives slipping in the polls we could potentially end up with a Liberal minority government in the next election. Now that Harper has stacked the senate on the conservative side, we the people will be held hostage once again due to political maneuvering and their insatiable lust for power.
As always, the politicians have conveniently forgotten why they are in Ottawa in the first place.
