Special Sunday Fifth Column

At first I thought all this talk about prorogation was a simple misunderstanding of terms and that people were talking about the government recessing the House until after Christmas, but now I am not sure.

A prorogation would mean the end of the session before it even started. The Economic and Fiscal Statement would die on the Order Paper and there would be a new Throne Speech when Parliament resumes.

It would be as if the Tories admitted they screwed things up so bad they needed a do over. It might be a good thing but I cannot see them admitting that.

Anyway, it is too late for a do over. Bring on the Progressive Coalition !

It has been a difficult time in the Canadian government, apprehensive on how to handle the problems caused by the economic crisis. Not only US is the one that is experiencing this tough economic times as well as our neighbors in the North. The situation is not getting any better any time soon. Members of Parliament were determined not to work with the Conservative Prime Minister. It seems to be they are heading for a vote of No Confidence, effectively a removal of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister, in response, has asked the Governor General (the head of Parliament) to adjourn the parliament to allow him more time to concoct an effective plan to deal with the crisis. Hopefully this chaos will be unruffled and resolved as soon as possible. So remember. Although many of us are trying to endure these hard times and may need payday loans, we are not alone.
