But that 60% had no opinion on the 14 prorogues of Chretien and Trudeau?
I have no idea. I don't even know what you're trying to prove by bringing that up. "It's okay because they did it too" is something a five year old says to his mom after picking a fight with the kid down the street.

Oh I forgot, those didn't count with you roman, you hadn't heard of any others except Harper's last year.
I didn't say they didn't count. I only said I hadn't heard the word being used before.
I'll tell you what I think, and you tell me what you think. Don't tell me what I think, because you don't know what I think.
Here's what I think: I think you need to come up with a better justification for supporting another prorogue than "they did it too." If that's what you think we should base our democracy on, and if you think that a majority of Canadians think like you do, then this country is in a lot of trouble.

When 60% of Canada starts complaining about it I'll have it. At the moment 200,000 on FaceBook and a few Liberals saying they will be on a demo doesn't count as a nation in turmoil over the prorogue, no matter how many times the Liberals and the media tell us about how bad this well used parliamentary procedure is.
Two hundred thousand people joining a Facebook group is a pretty considerable force. It's by no means a majority of people across Canada, but those people will be organising with people on and off Facebook to rally against this. There is a lot more going on than you know about.

While you whip up a few more Lib's to join the FaceBook group, Harper's government are knee deep in day 6 of the Haiti relief mission.
I know very few people who would vote for the Liberal party. I don't even know what political party 99% of the people on that Facebook group align themselves with, if any. Regardless of the massive tragedy of Haiti, we've got our own tragedy to deal with at home. We wouldn't be able to do anything in Haiti if our government was run for the past 140 years like Stephen Harper wants it run.
