Guys, settle down! Some things of which you should be aware:

1) Most governments prorogue before the throne speech, which is often made at the start of the new fiscal year (March). The controversy surrounding Harper is that prorogued for two months, as apposed to a much closer date.

2) McGuinty's proroguation is not really 4 days, that headline is misleading. Please read:

$1:
The Ontario legislature will shut down Thursday, March 4, and return Monday, March 8, with the throne speech to begin a new session. The legislature doesn't sit Fridays, so the prorogation amounts to a normal weekend break at Queen's Park.


3) Words or actions by a Federal politician(ie federal Liberal criticism of Harper) are not the same as words or actions of a Provincial politician (ie McGuinty)as these are two different levels of government with different priorities and mandates and agendas. Thus to call McGuinty a hypocrite because his actions conflict with what Ignatieff said - or to call Stelmach a hypocrite because his actions conflict with Harper's is incorrect.

While I'm not always a fan of McGuinty's decisions, this story is supposed to make him look good in comparison to Harper - 2 months vs 4 non-work days.

Who cares? It's 4 days. And I say this as a Conservative. There is a litany of things we can run Squinty out of town for.

hehe. Seems to be a Buzz Word now. We'd all be ignoring this, if Harper hadn't done it to avoid a Confidence Vote. Now everybody gets all cynical whenever it's done, because of that one situation.

Cause Canadians that try to understand politics, like a few posters in this thread, are ignorant to why prorogation is used and generally don't have a clue.

Before Harper used it last year, I had no idea what it was either. :lol:
