Interesting. I did not expect the GG to agree to prorogue and I don't think I like the precedent it sets, ie: that a Prime Minister can suspend parliament when facing a non-confidence vote.
In the end, this will probably work out for the best, but who knows how it will work out? This could give the Tories the opportunity to structure a budget which includes compromises which will please the opposition and allow them to keep power.
It could also give the coalition time to get its act together and really build an effective structure, remove Dion from the prospective leadership and get someone in there who has the respect of Canadians.
The CPC still faces a confidence vote in January and they are still in a Minority position.
