Parliamentary Stuff - Master Wedgers

So the government is proposing a modification to parliamentary schedule in March and April... how 'wise' of them.

To think if they were less 'wedge'-oriented... they would have not prorogued parliament, removed much of the anxt out there about them, prevented all the wonderful activity of January 23, and likely still be ahead in the polls.

The idea of making up some of the lost time makes sense but even cannot erase bad feelings about the prorogation. This 'making up time' idea seems like an attempt to recoup some lost 'political points'.

But my senses is it's too late. Canadians have seen the last few weeks how quickly the government moves to 'disunite' Canadians.. picking out selective groups to fight with. They are highly skilled at polarizing people. If it isn't saying opposition parties are critical of Canadian troops, it's reducing or cancelling grants to groups and organizations operating at arms length.
