  1. Prorogue: To lather slime and corruption over the central institution of Canada in order to protect oneself from a horrible criminal scandal.

    1. Harper also did this in a much worse ways. Why don’t u fools get an education before spouting off BS gibberish?

    2. @Mitch Holder Get an education on Canadian politics, then u will no longer complain as there is and has been so much political BS since Confederation, believe me u will make yourself sick to complain. A bachelor’s degree in Canadian Politics should do it although a Master’s Degree would wake u up to reality in a big way and u may actually chose to do something positive about Canadian Politics instead of wasting ur time whining about reality.

  2. The Prime Minister is a king in Canada. Even the prosecutorial body is not independent from him. Where is a special prosecutor to persecute Justin for 2.5 years like was unjustifiably unleashed upon a real leader south of the border? Where are the journalists in this horrendous abuse of power?

    1. Careful now, logic like that might enrage the short bus riders and cause them to sperg out and crash into a light pole.

  3. So when the ” prorogue ” starts all things STOP in government ! So it would stand to reason that all politicians PAY STOPS as well. Do I understand this right ?!?!??. OR ARE there THING EXEMPT if it is to the politicians personal advantage ?

  4. The We Charity probe should continue, and give their report before the vote of confidence. Otherwise, the vote of confidence is worthless…

  5. At this time it’s being used as a counteractive tool to try and stall further discussion and investigation in to the tip of the iceberg corruption that True?No, pardon me, Castro, excuse me, Trudeau and the liberals are blanketed with and the onion layers keep getting peeled back revealing even more telling scandals and illegal activity many members have colluded in, for years.

  6. I like to see the PM Trudeau Castro walking from Parliament in handcups an put behind bars .. he is a Thief an has stolen money from Canadians an that is a criminal in my eyes an always will be . An hopefully a lot more Canadians see it that way too. Bring on the election 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

  7. Prorogation: What A spoiled brat excuse for a PM does when having a tantrum when he doesn’t get his way. Hey, here’s a new word for you, I’ll even spell it out for you. A-C-C-O-U-N-T-A-B-I-L-I-T-Y!!

  8. Considering how important it is that Trudeau is using this to try to slime his way out of trouble, you did not put much effort into this. Couldn’t you have made the title more appropriate?
