How is this action democratic? For all the people railing off against the coalition saying that it is "undemocratic," isn't this the most egregious offense of them all? To close down parliament because you're about to fail a confidence vote? I wonder how people would respond to this if this was a Liberal government that just prorogued parliament.

Because this coalition is formed on the basis of heated emotions and would not allow enough time for the Conservative government to ACTUALLY prove that the House doesn't have confidence.
We JUST had an election, and there is really no way to deny that this was an attempted power grab. Now we have a situation where the CPC can table a detailed budget, in a timely manner, and hopefully try to work with the Liberal MP's to come up with something that works for Canada. Another election, a coalition government supported by the Bloc, and partisan hissy fits in the House are not what Canada needs.
What I find absolutely infuriating is Jack Layton's insistence that Harper should have delivered a detailed plan on what to do for the economy, and that he and Dion could do better. How do they know that? There is zero basis for truth in that statement, and for the betterment of Canada these three parties need to work TOGETHER. Put aside you're petty cry-baby antics in the House and do some real work.
Canadian's should be upset at ALL of them right now.
