Harper prorogues Parliament, makes appeal to federalists

with 51 comments

Prime Minister Harper has asked the Governor General to prorogue Parliament until January 26 when the government will present an early budget.

The move delays the government’s likely defeat until it faces a confidence vote on their new Throne Speech.

Harper invited input on the budget from the NDP and Liberals, saying only Canada’s three federalist parties can be trusted to act in Canada’s interests.

The Bloc has every legitimate right to be here, but their game is not about working on the economy to serve the greater interests of the country.

The do have a fundamentally different agenda, and that’s not the agenda of the other three of us … I think that’s a more fundamental difference than whether you are a little more for the market, or a little more interventionist.

- Stephen Harper

The coalition leaders Gilles Duceppe, Jack Layton and Stéphane Dion said they will not support the government, saying its Harper who cannot be trusted.

  3. Jack Layton is a pompous ass and, in my opinion, should be replaced as leader of the NDP.

  14. people need to make some noise. They need to realize that they dont have to stand for this and understand that it is the PEOPLE who are sovereign, NOT the government. The Government consists of the elected public servants of the people and is elected to carry out the will of the people and act in the best interests of the people and if they do not the people can MANDATE they do. Any elected govt that fails to comply with a peoples mandate has, by law, abdicated its right to govern.

  17. Correct me if im wrong but isnt the Governor General, who is appointed by the British Crown, the actual seat of power?

  18. Are you seriously comparing Harper to Hitler? Give me a break. Ron Paul is a populist – what do you make of that? Anyway fascism is a left-wing ideology, Harper is a progressive libertarian.

  19. Prescott Bush and Stephen Harper’s relatives helped fund the Nazi Party. They were bought in by the New World Order,and it has been flourishing ever since. This is about creating a sense of ‘chaos’ in the public,so we think we can only look to our elite with their bottomless pockets for help. This is exactly what they want. The job of the people is not to give it to them. We would be prosperous flourishing countries if it wasn’t for our political elite.

  22. Populist movements can be precursors for, and building blocks of, fascist movements. [...] Populism also played a role in mobilizing middle class support for the Nazi Party in Weimar Germany.[37]. In this case, distressed middleclass populists during the pre-Nazi Weimar period mobilized their anger at government and big business.

  23. The only real solution to this impasse is for all three national parties in the House to form a coalition government. That’s right have the PC’s, Liberals, and NDP form a coalition government. After all that is really what the People of Canada said with our ballots on Oct. 14th, 2008. We also stated that we wanted the PC’s to take the leadership role in this coalition, as we clearly elected the most PC members.

  26. ‘create order out of chaos’. Where is the chaos except that which they speak of and that which they confounded themselves? Like one says,Canada has been very secure,like most of the rest of the Western countries but,because it doesn’t suit them to say this,and they use the docile uninquisitive Governmentally controlled media,the mind controlled robots dish out more chanelling talk of a ‘New World Order.’ Say no.

  27. Hey all you conspiracy theorists:

    Has it occurred to you the coalition is doing the bidding of the military industrial complex by demanding the Canadian government bail out GM?

    You forget the Liberals represent the established ruling class while Harper and the Conservatives have genuinely populist grassroots. The Liberal Party has always been the problem, just look how they are trying to pull a fast one while lending legitimacy to the separatist party. I hope Harper destroys them both.

  34. It’s much worse than a shame it’s going to be a nightmare if you as humans don’t start waking each other up.This Stephen Harper is an elite member,following the agenda to a new world order. All current governments have been hijacked by Reptilian hybrids. Only using human common sense and sensibility can we steer our way around this.

  39. Thank you. Canadian and American Patriots need to come together to fight the New World Order, take back control of our countries, kick out the bankers and create a proper banking system, restore our universal health care in Canada, and many more things to return us to prosperity and good health. Don’t let the Globalists destroy both countries.

  51. No matter what side you’re on, the governor general made the right choice. If the coalition is needed and right, being born in cooler weather with cooler heads will be better for everybody.
