I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. I don't like the fact that Parliament is not in session (yet paychecks are still being issued and no real work is being completed).
At the same time, looking at the past (for example) year, Parliament has been sitting with paychecks being issued and no real work being completed.
Say what you will about proroguing Parliament, the real story is about the unbelievable ineffectiveness of Parliament in general.
Still wondering why NOBODY questioned the GM Bailout. Not a single word of debate was spoken on one of the largest (financial) decisions this country has ever faced.
Dunno....I kind of think people complaining about proroguing deserve to be ignored. Where was all the outrage when matters of real importance were being ignored? We got the Parliament we deserve (Government, Opposition and others). We will get a chance to really voice our feelings again during the next election, until then, I don't think we have any right to complain about anything coming from Ottawa.
