Can she do that for the Electoral College in a couple weeks?

You mean the Canadians still obey a Queen ? No wonder South Park says they are no even a real country .

The Queen was not involved.

It’s all very confusing up here for Americans, I know.

A prime minister's request to temporarily suspend parliament had never been turned down, but nor had such a request been made when the government was certain to lose a confidence vote.

"There is no precedent whatsoever in Canada and probably in the Commonwealth," constitutional expert Ned Franks told AP news agency. "We are in uncharted territory."

British Bollocks Corporation, IMO. Madame Jean is no fool. The uncharted, but predictable, territory would have been to turn the country over to the three stooges, Dion, Layton, and Duceppe.

Harper wasn't running from an election. That's the last thing the three stooges wanted; Harper would have won handily, likely with a majority, and they knew it - they thought they would pull a fast one and gain power without facing the country, which just rejected them.

Harper and Jean did the right thing, with the country facing severe economic problems. Harper can get right on preparing a new budget rather than wasting a couple of months fighting an election while leaving the country without a government.

Who pulled the plug?

LOL. I love it when the lefties have their own tactics used against them.

Now its rope-a-dope time. Harper is going to take this coalition apart. The cracks are already beginning to show.

Step 1) Remove stage

Step 2) Erect boxing ring

Step 3 ) Invite each coalition leader to step in one at a time

Step4) Biff, Pow, growl, biff- biff , whine! biff-smack, crack, din ding, ( Care for another round?)

Step 5) ( Dion) Piff-Paff,Oh-yoi!, Collees de tabernach!, Piff-Paff -Paff. whip, whip, Oh Yoi!, Au Secours!Piff Paff! Depeche Toi!, THWACK! THWACK , Non! Non! SMAAAAACAAACK!(Silence) Ding-Ding " Care for another round?"

And so it shall be.

Harper is a master. Watch him work and applaud in glee.

Don't mess with Sargeant Preston and Yukon King!

Long live the Queen!

It was necessary to prorogue Parliament to halt a coup d'etat. Hopefully, after the holidays, the opposition will come to its senses.
