parliament has been prorogued.
with that; democracy in this country has entered unprecedented waters. the idea that a government facing a vote of non-confidence vote can suspend parliament hopefully just galvanizes the coalition to bring down the government once--and whenever that is--resumes.
harper who created this mess now cowardly refuses to be accountable for his words and rather than facing the house has been allowed to shut it down.
what to make of this? the conservatives diatribe against the bloc can stir up sovereignty debate yet again and another period of national unity uncertainty. here, the party was on the brink of being the power broker in ottawa, now harper has shut them down cold. either way, whatever steps harper made in quebec last two years have been reversed within the last few days. in essence, the potential at a conservative majority is all but over. now, either the liberals will see a rejuvenation or bloc stir up separatist sentiment.
harper could of course turn this in his advantage by coming back in january and rolling out a budget that that coalition just cannot vote against.
however once looks at this situation; harper faces an upward road from just where he was a mere week ago.
