Yup but they still have to make up the scheduled number of days of Parliament later.
It has been used by many/most of the parties to avoid scrutiny or a difficult situation.
Harper did it a few years ago to avoid a non-confidence vote... The Chretin gvt before him did it to avoid an investigation into a situation that could have potentially construed as fraud.
Ultimately, it is a normal and legal procedure in Cdn Parliament, however, as with anything, it has the potential to be abused
Mr. Harper might could consider the following prorogation speech:
It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice; ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government; ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse; gold is your God; which of you have not barter'd your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?
Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defil'd this sacred place, and turn'd the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redress'd, are yourselves gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.
In the name of God, go!

In BC's defense, they don't have any real fleets of snow removal equipment outside the Coqihala (sp?)
Son, any group of politicians would find a way to abuse granola. Does no one remember the wisdom of Lord Acton?
That's cause I own the only snow tires and chains south of Prince George.
The problem with snow in BC is that the rules are written by people in Victoria where it snows once every six years. Then they just call the army to bail them out.
The problem with BC is that we don't get enough snow. Yeah, it's a really tough life out here. It's amazing we even survive the constant onslaught on temperate weather.
Re: More shiny ponyness
And it begs the question; "you can make that kind of coin just running your mouth, why in hell would you want the flack of being PM?

Trudeau on ISIS:
"I know there are other things Canada could do, that other countries wouldn't be able to do just as well...There's a lot of people, refugees, displaced peoples fleeing violence who are facing a very, very cold winter in the mountains. If something Canada has expertise on is how to face a winter in the mountains with the right kind of equipment," said Trudeau while motioning towards a window facing Jasper National Park.
"Canada is better than that and our forces certainly are as well," said Trudeau.
When pressed afterwards on exactly which countries besides a Western power like Canada should be helping in the offensive, Trudeau would not give specifics.
"There are countries with far more aircraft to do that than Canada and they should continue."
Sun News : Trudeau says Canada should help ISIS victims with 'cold winter' advice
Yeah, we should really make this dimwit PM.
Yeah....but they never had the chance for a vote of non-confidence, as their coalition fell apart during the prorogation, as the people made it very clear they were not happy with the Liberal/NDP nefarious plot to bring the Bloc into gov't.
Harper outsmarted them, and the system worked.

And yes, it is a lack of choices, so don't engage in self-cutting.
There simply is no alternative.
