The Real Reason Parliament Has Been Prorogued
There is no way in hell our "Right Honourable Prime Minister" can seriously believe that the citizens of Canada are stupid enough to buy proroguing as anything more than an excuse for the Harper family to jet off to the Wet Coast for the 2010 Olympics.
Stephen Harper couldn't care less how voters feel about the fact that our military outsources the torture of political prisoners. Public opinion regarding the economy isn't important to him, either. Does he care about our feelings surrounding the justice system? Not so much. Why miss traveling to the Olympics with Laureen, Ben and Rachel, on the country's dime? The legal, ethical and moral questions proroguing brings up are totally irrelevant. Who are we, the people the Prime Minister is charged to serve, to hold him to account anyway?
I think a career in "public service" requires a great deal of ego and a fluid sense of truth to begin with. Our Prime Minister has both, in spades.
