I sent my $ donation to the Conservative Party of Canada already...

Thanks but I'm not going. This prorogue benefits the opposition just the same .... they can regroup and restrategize too, it happened because of the break down of Question Period. It gives the Fiberals some badly needed ammo and a break which they need too.. ah where was McMeekin? o ya on vacation, somewhere warm.


Dabate? Really? to what end?
And honestly Question Period is bullshit. Parliament's and Question Periods were admirable 500 years ago. Now it's a grandstanding event that serves no purpose anymore when it comes legislating. It serves the politicians to get re-elected by standing-up and barking some ridiculous question -- that is not really a question -- but a political statement.

The point of Question Period in a Parliament (originally) was that us/we citizens would give questions to our representative in the lower House and they would ask the questions on our behalf. Come On! How many of the questions you see/hear from Question Period sound like they came from a constituent living in their seat?

Parliamentary systems today fail their original mandate. We should be moving towards a Congressional System style of Democracy (which is more like the original Athenian version of democracy).

How many Canadians even watch Question Period? How many Canadians have asked their House Representative a question to ask? Like maybe 0.001%. And for that matter, if you did, did he/she (your representative) actually get back to you with an answer.
