So when is Ignatieff and Layton going to come back from vacation to work? Harper's in His office.

Well you said they needed to spend time in their constituencies or are you unaware of just how much time is spent by MPs in Ottawa, I have yet to meet anyone who can be in two places at once.

How do they do this when they are stuck in Ottawa, at least with the 2 month prorogue they will have some time now to spend in their constituencies.

funny Nanos has proven his methodology. I have followed his poll even when they did not favour the conservatives, because of his reputation.

McMurdy, Derdre. "Who is this man, and why is he always right?" The Ottawa Citizen. Ottawa, Ont.: Oct 22, 2007. pg. A.5 Bea Vongdouangchanh and Kady O’Malley. “Inside the poll story – who got it right, who got it wrong, and why?” Policy Options Magazine, Montreal, Que.: March 2006. Vol. 26 No. 3, p. 68 Christian Bourque and Craig Worden. “Measuring voting intention and projecting outcomes for the 2006 Canadian federal election” Vue Magazine, Mississauga, Ont.: April 2006, p. 10 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanos_Research

By anyone who knows anything about politics "In the 2006 federal election in Canada, his firm predicted the results of the federal election to within one tenth of one percentage point for the four major parties - a record in Canadian polling history." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nik_Nanos

nope nanos is know for being the most accurate.

The last Nanos poll puts the conservatives at 39% and his are the polls to watch, I think in the next nanos poll the conservatives will be at about 37, and the undecided will increase the rest of the parties will be within one point plus or minus of the last nanos poll.

Wow that was an incredible post.

She states the case right here, the amendments effectively kill the legislation as it amends the bill beyond the intent of the bill urse that unelected, unaccountable Upper House? Sure, go ahead, if it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside, but it would seem that very few of the 35 now-at-least-temporarily defunct bills were actually victims of a stubbornly obstructionist Other Place. Three, to be precise: the oft-cited consumer safety bill (C-6), and the drug sentencing bill (C-15), both of which did manage to make it to third reading in the Senate, but which were saddled with amendments that the government has preemptively - and forcefully - rejected, and C-26 (auto theft), which was sent to Legal and Constitutional Affairs at the end of October, where it remains -- or remained until prorogation -- under consideration.

You people talk like the house is never going to sit again.

Nope in no way does this effect anything in this country. If he hadn't prorogued he would still be governing, thanks to both the Liberals and the NDP as they both took turns supporting the conservatives, that must really hurt. As far as I am concerned to this point Harper has done the job better then any other leader in the house could.

but you the best reason in my opinion is to re configure the senate committees, so now the liberals will have show their spots in the house on every piece of legislation. They will have to kill it in the house of commons, instead of using procedure to kill bills in he senate.

I said he must have a good reason, nor do I care what it is, but I do love it when the uber left gets a riled up he must be doing something right.

And yet they govern from the conservative policy book listed on their website. The same one I have repeated told you to go read so you can see what grassroots policy looks like.

Harper will re appoint Jean

I'm neither a mp or PMSH, I don't know why only speculation. That said prorogation, is a part of our constitution democracy it has been used by many every governing party. When parliament is prorogued it effective halts all legislative ability, you should be happy the conservative government is unable to pass conservative legislation until march, you should be elated.

No he and the government have a good reason for doing it, just one you don't agree with.

That it is a common parliamentary occurrence, and not the affront you think it is.

Parliament has been prorogued 105 times since confederation in 1867.

And yet parliament has been prorogued on average ever 1.5 years. Hardly undemocratic, spread your propaganda elsewhere.

nope I vote for the conservative party of the conservative policy manual.

No we won't we'll may see a 5 or 10 year sabbatical but someone who has lived their entire adult live outside of the country only to be wooed back by a political party no run for the leadership of the party. This will be unique to Ignatieff.

Why would he prorogue in the middle of a session, 50 seconds into the day just before the oppositions first day of the session?

Really o so high a mighty. Maybe the party was running on its record as government for eighteen months maybe the parties constitution dictates the schedule of such conventions. Like I said maybe you should read the policy book and constitution of the conservative party you might find it enlightening since it was written and approved by grassroots something the liberals haven't seen in a long time. The reason why I lean conservative is because of how that book was written and its contents, and that the government has actually acted on those policies. When I see that they are ignoring it, or it becomes something other then a grassroots policy book, I will re evaluate my voting support of the party, like I did with the provincial tories 3 years ago.
