Frustration with the Harper government&#8217;s decision to prorogue Parliament spilled from the Internet onto the streets Saturday, as thousands of demonstrators gathered at rallies across Canada.  Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced on Dec. 30 that Parliament would prorogue until March, instead of resuming on January.
The decision sparked a backlash, especially online, where a Facebook group [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stephen Harper is in trouble for being ham-fisted with Parliament and several public institutions. He has also caused a ruckus by penalizing those who dare criticize Israel.
Fused together, those two traits can be combustible enough. Adding a third element, catering to his party&#8217;s conservative ideologues, the Prime Minister has created a major crisis at Canada&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Remember the old battle cry of the Reform Party – The West Wants In. Well… in 2010, we can safely say that the West IS in with Stephen Harper’s Conservatives firmly planted in the Reform/Alliance side of the spectrum. The question is - Are we better or worse as a country? Based on the [...]]]></description>

When Pierre Elliott Trudeau and Jean Chrétien were in power, conservative commentators used to complain that both tended to be dictatorial, courtesy of our parliamentary system that made the prime minister too powerful, more so in some respects than the president of the United States.
Where are those pundits when we really need them? Stephen [...]]]></description>

By:  David Eaves
Mr. Colvin&#8217;s allegations suggest that the government has entered a Bush-like vortex where facts are irrelevant – be it on torture, Canadians abroad or on climate change. We have a government who&#8217;s view is: “If we don&#8217;t know it, it doesn&#8217;t exist.” Moreover, it is prepared to attack the bureaucracy if it isn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By:  Lawrence Martin
Last week&#8217;s issuance of the Harper government&#8217;s new citizenship guide came as a fitting capper to the first decade of the new century. With its emphasis on the military, law and order, the monarchy, with expressed limits on cultural tolerance, this was a document that affirmed Canada&#8217;s new conservative way.
Rarely, if ever, have [...]]]></description>

While hindsight is always a convenient 20/20, the Liberals might soon be asking themselves what might have been if they hadn’t pushed Dion out the leader’s door so quickly. 

While many in the sheep-like media continue to point to Dion as a low point in the Liberal party, a more objective view shows a different [...]]]></description>

After seeing all the hoopla about the arrival of the Olympic flame in Canada, the media is really pumping up the impending torch relay that will apparently run through many a town across this great land. The NEW! CBC News Network is so excited, they can’t sit down…

I’ll give the PM credit – It took guts to get on stage and sing a tune. But COME ON – the media fawning over the event is ridiculous.

For a leadership that looked so promising at the start of the year, how did it come to this?
Michael Ignatieff recently pledged his party to bringing down the government and forcing an election. His party recoils at the thought. Here&#8217;s Toronto MP Judy Sgro: “Ninety-nine per cent of us don&#8217;t want an election.”
