Conservative TV just torpedoed Harper

Far and Wide: "A Very Serious Issue"
For CTV (Conservative TeleVision, aka Canada's Tory Voice) to say this is a serious issue, I'd say Harper is in big trouble with his hard-core base of sycophants.

NDP stance on the prorogation of parliament issue

Statement by New Democrat Deputy Leader and House Leader Libby Davies | NDP
...

While Stephen Harper is blocking elected Members of Parliament from working in the House of Commons, he is in the process of appointing more and more unelected Senators, something he promised he would never do.

All this to run away from accountability and to further cover up the Afghan detainee torture scandal.

It is unacceptable. New Democrats will continue to work hard, and this is why our MPs will attend, as planned, the NDP Caucus retreat scheduled the week before the return of Parliament in Wakefield, Quebec.

The meeting will go ahead, because, more than ever, New Democrats are committed to keeping the Conservative government accountable. We may need to be creative. But we will be relentless.

Conservative MPs begin to show the true colours of the party

An apparent disadvantage of proroguing has emerged for Harper – his MPs are loose cannons « Scott's DiaTribes

Mr. Schellenberger admitted he may try to take two or three weeks off during the Winter Olympic Games and may try to get to Vancouver if he can find accommodation. The Olympics in Canada were another good reason to prorogue Parliament, he added. ”If we are sitting, how do MPs get to those events,” he said of the Olympic games. “It makes sense that we are not sitting.”

Harper's plan was to prorogue while the other leaders were away on holidays

Yappa Ding Ding: More on the Democratic Crisis
For those who are complaining that Ignatieff and Layton are on holiday... did it occur to you that Harper timed this to embarrass them by choosing a time when it would be difficult for them to get back to Canada quickly? Just have a little patience. We need leadership from Ignatieff and Layton - not just one but BOTH - and it needs to be good. But quality is more important than fast in this case. We can wait a few more days or weeks.

Harper and his supporters in the MSM

Montreal Simon: Stephen Harper and his Media Stooges
He thought he could get away with it. He said it was just routine. He said Canadians didn't care about torture. He said he needed to recalibrate.

Even though Canadians knew it was just a paid vacation.

He counted on the Con media to shrug it's shoulders, praise him for being so clever.

And smother the Facebook rebellion with cynicism.

Or this crock of stinking shite. From another old Con.

As if young Canadians were too stupid to care about saving democracy and their country.

So what are these MSM Con stooges saying now? About this and this.

Let me suggest something along these lines might be appropriate:

Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo. We live in a dank little village called Ottawa. We walk around with our heads up our asses. We polish Great Ugly Leader's bum with our noses. We think cynical is cool. So how could we possibly know how irrelevant we have become?
