Where's the outrage?
Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty has prorogued the legislature for no other reasons than to avoid political fallout from various scandals, and to give his own party time to regroup and reorganize after his surprise resignation.
And he's prorogued it not for six or seven weeks, but for SIX MONTHS.
So... anyone outraged?
I seem to remember that a previous prorogation at the federal level led to a furor and loud cries that democracy in Canada was dead. Do we in this group not have any members who will now say the same for Ontario? Who's organizing the rallies against it? When? I've certainly seen some reaction in the press - but so far nothing on the streets. Is it going on already, and I just haven't seen it yet because I'm not in Ontario?
Or is it not going on? And if not - why not?
