Prorogation Rallies

Despite being shamelessley promoted by big newspapers, TV outlets and the opposition parties, a grand total of 3,000 showed up on Parliament Hill to protest the alleged end of democracy in Canada.

There are six or seven rallies every year on Parliament Hill that attracts more people, and with none of the media hype.

Seriously, you can't propagandize people into getting mad about something that just doesn't ring true to them. They may not like prorogation. It may annoy them, but Iggy, Jack and many columnists have just overplayed their hand on this. Sent on the TELUS Mobility network with BlackBerry
