• Prorogation - Good for Canada Canada?

    I am so pleased that Stephen Harper was granted prorogation.

    Two new words Prorogue and Prorogation.

    According to National Post - And today's word: prorogation: this is a new word for Canadians. Learning a new word is always fun. This past week it has been prorogation, the act of dissolving the House indefinitely. Since the National Post's inception more than 10 years ago, the word had only shown up 22 times. That means when it was first used there were no blogs and certainly no Twitter. In the past week, prorogation has gotten another three mentions. That is a 13.5% increase. Maybe this word has a real future in politics.

    I am really glad that Stephen Harper stood his ground and asked for prorogation. according to National Post - Stephen Harper's reaction to the prorogation, plus questions Wednesday morning Stephen Harper got his wish: A prorogation of Parliament that will keep him in government and suspend parliament until January 26, 2009. At that time he promises to deliver a budget, the fastest budget in Canadian history he claims, and allow the opposition to vote on that (instead of a straight-up no-confidence vote they had asked for).

    I watched Stephane Dion, and Jack Layton last night and thought to myself, Oh My Goodness, this can't be good. These coalition people are trying overthrow a government in peaceful Canada. That is the worst scenario possible.

    There were so many things wrong with Stephane Dion taking power as Prime Minister in Canada.

    Canada is a peaceful nation, and we love our stability. Over throwing a government is not a peaceful thing to do , especially when Canadians don't want that to happen.

    Give Stephen Harper and his people time to develop a budget. It's a large task to do, and it takes time. He and his finance minister will be able to concentrate better on developing a budget if they don't have to work on fighting off a coalition.

    I like to picture this as household finances. If a husband and wife are fighting all the time, they're not concentrating as much as they could be on their finances. The husband and wife need to be unified in their approach to their household administration.

    Too much fighting usually causes a divorce which is devasting to the family.

    Same thing with the government. Too much fighting cause a lack of unity in the leadership. I'm glad that Stephen Harper was granted a cool off period until January 26, 2009. This is really good news!

I find it very interesting that Stephane Dion is going to get kicked as the leader of the Opposition, as early as December 8, 2008... according to CTV News.

So.. this whole coalition thing was pretty weak.

Under the Parlimentary system of Canada, the efforts of Dion and Layton and the agreement of the Bloc to vote for them in House Votes and not against them for a specified period of time is NOT an overthrow of Government. It has happened before, it is perfectly legal and democratic under our system and had the GG agreed to the coalition she would have been perfectly within her rights and powers as Vice Regal office to do so.

I feel like I'm repeating myself everywhere I go trying to explain this purely simple fact to people. Do that many Canadians not understand their own system? Have that many Canadians forgotten what we were taught in school? It was not a government overthrow attempt, since the government is actually the entire House of Commons, all MPs of all stripes.
