Excuses don't work on prorogation

Jan 29, 2010 - 04:37 PM

To the editor:

Re: Oshawa residents talk federal budget with Colin Carrie, Jan. 22.

Oshawa MP Colin Carrie was disappointed at the turnout for his meeting?

He should have come down to the protest outside his office, there were many people there ready and willing to ask him a few questions.

Apparently Whitby-Oshawa MP Jim Flaherty also did not attend the protest outside his office.

This reveals where these candidates stand on Prime Minister Stephen Harper's decision to prorogue Parliament and it is a shame. They should vote against the motion and get back to work like everyone else.

Using an excuse such as the Olympics taking place is ridiculous. Should everyone in Canada have a three-month leave paid for while the Olympics are being held?
