Hey Colpy good day to you,Hey, Socrates, where ya been?
Please read the link from Avro's post below:
The King of Proroguing.
Hypocrites
Prorogation is a normal part of Parliamentary procedure, nothing anti-democratic in it at all..........
Parliament Hill web cam showed no more than 1500 of which at least 100 would have been security people. Reporters are trying to spin the numbers and the results but web cams and cell photos do not lie.
Hey jay 3000 + people and many more in other cities demonstrating against the Harper thugs is a clear message to the Conservative bon heads in Ottawa.
If the 3000"+" headcount is accurate (who did the counting?), it doesn't seem to be much of a clear message to me, other than it's one of those "who cares?" situations. Over 10,000 people attended a little garlic festival here in 100 Mile House, BC last year. I could interpret that to mean over 3 x as many people are more interested in garlic than they are in the evils of proroguing by Mr. Harper.
Of course, I'd have to factor in the population difference between Ottawa and 100 Mile House, BC to come up with a more realistic comparison! ;-)
I give you the biggest proroguing hypocrit, Bob Rae.
Thank God, the Arrow boondoggle would have bankrupt the government.
Just like a con to have no vision, the Arrow would have turned Canada into an aerospace hub bringing in billions if no trillions of dollars and jobs. Old rat face only thought of money, that and the yanks twisted his arm to end the program and that's where all the bright minds of the Avro program went.
Dief was a disgrace to this country.:angryfire:
Burn in hell Dief.
I wasn't aware he was federal when he had the power. Not a bad attempt at deflection....
One report I read estimated from 27-35000 people across the country protested against the government on this issue. Not a big percentage of the population but enough to raise a few eyebrows on the hill I suppose.
CB, you're right. Not a big percentage. Even if you use the eligible voters in the calcs the number works out roughly the same.
Perhaps we've entered a new era of protesting. Facebook, Twitter, email....they all seem to be the preferred method over placards and shouting from the gallery. Anyway, the true test is in the election results.
It was advertised for weeks and monied by the Libs and the NDP.If you can get 1500 apathetic Canadians in one place to protest something, on a few days notice, it's far from a bust.
