Limit Prorogation!

They're at it again, and it so tedious. Their attestations of having only the best interests of the country at heart, so patently freighted with self-entitlement to the mantle of honourable politicians as compared say, to the Conservatives, palls. The level of the over-heated breast beating and self-congratulatory initiatives to haul out the Conservative-led current government's agenda of disempowering democracy speaks volumes about the turpitude of those who relish the rhetoric.

The current government's successes stand on their merit, in every conceivable index of achievement, both at home and abroad. The anxious hysteria mounted by the government's loyal opposition parties - speaks of a general dysfunction within the country's political parties, aged and decrepit and utterly devoid of useful and practical ideas, other than the tired old nostrums of knowing better than the incumbents - is appalling.

But there they are, the Liberal party of Canada and the New Democrats, boastfully pulling puppet strings to get their elected MPs back on Parliament Hill in a vividly-delusional display of bombast, hyperbolic denunciations, pomposity of comparisons as the stuff of unimaginative juveniles. "We want to act on this now because we've listened (to) and heard Canadians", avowed Michael Ignatieff.

As he changed his mind about advocating for new limits on prime ministerial powers of prorogation. For the fact of their matter is, Prime Minister Harper is guilty of "abuse of democracy", in temporarily ridding himself of the tedious onslaught of non-achieving, legislative-halting hangers-on whose only aspiration is to dump this government and take over the lax reins. They're entitled, after all.

They're fed up and they won't take it anymore. Oh, that brief moment of opportunity that slipped through their collective greasy fingers when it looked tantalizingly as though the government would fall and they could apportion ministerial placements to themselves; Stephane Dion, haplessly decent and indecently hapless, as prime minister.

They've coasted on the coattails of a Face Book entreaty by a bored university student who clings to the notion that the Conservative-led government aspires to unleash its hidden agenda and he's darned if he'll sit idly by and let it happen. So get up a petition and invite people to sign on, and no sweat! it's done. So that thousands of enthused anti-Harper activists got to feel good about people power as they protested the evils of prorogation.

What a commitment to the democratic ideal. Perhaps as practised by a trio who sought to elect themselves to power. By a scholarly politician who felt himself particularly well endowed to be offered the kingship of his party on bended knee, rather than by an inefficient, inconvenient democratic vote.

It's a question, simply put, of oxen and goring and that kind of thing.
