Progrogation letter prompts disagreement

Feb 05, 2010 - 03:02 PM

To the editor:

Re: Bernie MacDonald letter "Prorogation a way to combat Liberal legislation," Feb. 1.

The choice of words is very apt, as it sums up what I feel is wrong with the present government; they seem to be more concerned with making war with the opposition than to actually make an effort and work together with them. Whatever happened to the contrite Stephen Harper who, after failing to win a majority in the last election, promised to work more closely with the opposition in the future? Didn't happen, did it? I also disagree with the statement that Canada over the last three years was better off under the present government. I take it that you were not one of the many thousands who had their jobs eliminated during this period. As for the Liberals not being upfront; do you really believe that the proroguing of Parliament was about re-calibrating and not about trying to sweep dissent under the carpet and avoiding embarrassing questions in Parliament?
