the new word for the day - porogue

Not just country, state or province and even counties/parishes, cities and towns. Every part of government in the States, we're in a pickle down here.

Hi cher, As a fellow Canadian I certainly agree with you. I recently joined a group called Canadians Against Prorogation and there are other such groups springing up around the country. To my way of thinking, it would not be as bad if the government had a big majority but here is a man who does not have the backing of a majority in the House of Commons, acting as a dictator. I think he is taking advantage of the fact that the Liberals once again have real leadership problems, and he's feels that Canadians won't turn to the NDP despite the fact that they are the only party with strong leadership. I feel that both Harper and his party deserves to lose the support of all honest Canadians in the next election and would gladly vote for any party or coalition that could give them the boot. Blessings.

No, we here in the US have a perfect government. yeah right. Well seriously, does that happen often? Or is this a first? I think I find it a little scary that they can just shut down parliament like that.
