Deliciously witty! But well to the point. Enjoy this article and share it with any anti-Oil sands types - but mostly with your friends who are too busy working and raising families and actually making the economy work, to be out protesting all the time.

Kelly McParland: Attila the prime minister - Full Comment

I am glad to see someone with some brains in this debate... my goodness, the moronic and childish whipping up of false hysteria about the prorogation of Parliament is simply foolish and idiotic. In my experience - I was a constituency EA (executive assistant) to Bob Wenman MP (now deceased) - MPs work very hard and work long hours, even in - especially in - their constituencies.

The problem with actually being in Parliament all the time is that they are usually making more and more laws and, frankly, that is not always in our best interest. So I don't think that a break once and a while is a bad thing!

The other issue, and I think the most likely and best reason for Harper's shutting down of Parliament, is the blatantly political one - to reshuffle the Senatorial deck. It is a brilliant, and necessary move. The Grit Senators have been holding up progress on important conservative legislation and the PM has the constitutionally legal and political right and opportunity to make this great tactical move. It will improve his government's ability to get things done. Any leader worth the name would and should do it.

All the crassly hypocritical crying by the Libs and the NDP, and the stoking of the phony fire by some in the media, who are disingenuous at best or brain-dead at worst, is simply dishonest nonsense.

Good for you Mr. Prime Minister!
