"Justin's decision to prorogue is reckless". Agreed.
I understand Christine's argument, and agree that it is a political decision, not a legal one.
As a citizen, I am disturbed because I have so little ability to influence the political process. A political process I see as bankrupt. I thought Stephen Harpers use of prorogation was wrong, and now I think Justin's use of prorogation as very very dubious. The precedents being set are disturbing.
Fundamentally, proroguing is a way to avoid accountability which is fundamentally un-democratic.
