Ape Goes to the Counter Prorogation Rally Jan. 23, 2010
2010-01-24
Last month, Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper prorogued prematurely the nation's parliament. This is the second time in just more than a year that Harper has made used the device to shut down debate in the House. The last time was to avoid an imminent non-confidence vote; this time, it is widely believed the move was made to shut down a parliamentary investigation into the so-called Afghan Detainee Torture scandal. Thousands of Canadians came out today across the nation to voice their opposition to the misuse of Canadian democracy, and I attended the rally in Victoria, B.C.
