Governor General Michaëlle Jean has prorogued (suspended without dissolving) the parliment of Canada. So the government is, to my knowledge, in a deadlock. Meanwhile all kinds of divisionist propoganda is flying, smearing the 2/3 majority that opposes Mr. Harper's economic plans for Canada. He calls them seperatists and anti-democratic and such. (um, if the majority of elected officials agree his financial policies are disastrous for Canada, that IS Democracy as far as i know) Prime Minister Stephen Harper is due to present his budget to parliament on Jan 27, opening an opportunity for his dethronement. If anyone finds out what is going on please pass it along! Here are two articles about the type of government they have in canada, and what has lead us to this. The last one is satirical, pretty funny.
