I am emailing on behalf of my family, regarding the Prime Minister's choice to prorogue the parliament. It is totally unreasonable to prorogue the parliament twice in one year, given the many serious problems this country is facing. He must be under extreme pressure to avoid any contrary voices regarding, for example, the appropriation of unceded land for the 2010 Olympics and the torturing of prisoners in Afghanistan. It is inexcusable that the members of parliament think that they can walk away from these and the many other serious issues - energy dilemmas, natural resource profiteering, the RCMP, unemployment, etc.

Have a Happy New Year,
