Protest Prorogation!!
I am amazed at how many people do not know what Harper has done! Proroguing is a routine part the parliamentary cycle, it is conventionally used by a government to come up with a new agenda, after they have completed, to the best of their ability, the goals set out in the previous throne speech. This is not the case with the current conservative government! They are using prorogation to evade questions on the Afghan detainee cover up scandal and in their haste to run for cover have discarded 36 Bills that were before parliament. Any laws that were in process, with the exception of private members’ bills, have to be introduced again, at the very first step of the process.
Here is a great letter that was written by Political Science Professors from across Canada:

Also,I was interviewed for this article in the Waterloo Chronicle:
