The huge debt is the fault of a variety of past governments, not the fault of one particular party. Trudeau rang it up. So did Mulroney. It was actually Chretien and Martin who brought an end to deficit spending. Only to return under Harper.... Umm… as I recall the budget was balanced by the liberals. 1997 or so?

But no, since it isn't about specific things and instead about partisanship, so then bring on the hate!

I respect the fact that people may not like it, but the emphasis on this prorogation is implying that Prime Minister Harper has dug up and dusted off a long-unused piece of parlimentary procedure when in fact Prime Ministers including St. Laurent, Trudeau, Mulroney and Chretien have asked for and received around 100 of them in our parliamentary history.

I might not agree with the proroguing coming when or how it does, but it is part of parliamentary democracy to be allowed to do so.
