Yes, yes I know that Harper prorogued (and some people went nuts who will probably be okay with it now) but that was early in a mandate and Parliament was in chaos. Also, the government needs to pass a supply bill to keep operating by the end of March, not sure how that is going to work?

I think allowing the parogue of parliament was reasonable under Harper and would be reasonable now. In that case giving time to work through a plan in the middle of a financial crisis rather than change government was the correct choice and now giving people real choice for where the country should go is the better option.
I suspect they get the supply bill through with some help from Singh and parliament will sit at some point to allow the liberals to elect a leader and then call an election shortly after.
I wonder if Nenshi has any regrets going NDP at this point.
