Extended Christmas Vacay for Parliament

I am disapointed in the Governor General. I would love to know what was said in that two hour meeting to convince her that proroguing a Parliament session two weeks after it started was a good idea. It was interesting to hear Harper's song change a little though when he addressed the media. He talked alot more about cooperation and working together than he has in a long time. I guess we have to wait until January to see if he is sincere.

I had the CBC news streaming on my computer this morning while I was working so I could listen to the commentary and listen in on such a historical event in our country's political landscape. It was very entertaining though to hear them commenting on the doors. The cameras were set up in front of Government House and were trained on the front doors waiting for the Prime Minister to come out.I had the video minimized so I didn't have the visual but was listening while I worked. It was comical. The doors are opening, oh now they're closingandthey're open again...now they're closed. They're open.Closed. And on and on for the better part of an hour.

I am looking forward to seeing what happens in January. As much as I am not a fan of the Conservatives, I don't want a coalition just for the sake of a coalition. Although it does liven things up. If Harper can work together with the other parties and can regain the trust of the House legitimately then let him continue as the government. I will continue to dislike the Conservative policies and approaches but if the man can do that then he deserves a certain amount of respect. However, if he won't cooperate, if he continues to spout lies and act in a divisive, partisan manner and does not start working for the good of all Canadians then I will welcome a coalition government and be very excited to support it. It has the potential to change the way in which our Parliament is run and the way in which the parties work in our country. At the very least it has the potential of getting on with the work that needs to be done.
