Is the delay of 2 months (or however long it is) really that big of a deal? Is it worth it to risk giving our country's reputation a black eye on the world stage? Nobody else cares if we have a senate. Nobody else cares if our budget costs an extra hundred million dollars. Nobody else cares if our soldiers knew what the afghans were going to do.
This is the perfect opportunity to show what a respectful and gracious host country Canada can be. Do we want people coming hear only to hear of the petty politics that go on?
Yeesh.

Parliament has been in recess since prior to Christmas and would have been so until January 25 anyhow.
So the prorougue of of Parliament amounts to about another month of recess.
