Guess that means the rally organizers failed to achieve their goal.
The rally happened and Iggy got in front of the crowd with a golden opportunity to say something inspiring, so he said..he said…uhm…well he made a speech to the assembled crowd.
Then after the rally the next day, Iggy comes out with a new idea…sorry… an idea he poached from the NDP, that limits need to be put on prorogation….he did really..
But don't dispair liberals, when the throne speech and the budget are tabled you get two chances to bring the government down and go to an election.
Because trying to form a coalition still needs the support of the separatist party, and the last time the opposition tried that brain fart Harper's approval rating went over 50%.

Is the MSM not accountable to some body - ethics or practices, when they outright lie? The MSM has been consistently reporting that "Harper shut down parliament for two months"; last week on his website, Rick Mercer reported that he shut it down for three months. This progroguing "shuts down parliament" for 22 days, and when you factor in that usually when we are putting on an Olympic games, that parliament would take a pause - and rightly so; then the real, actual proroguing is about 2 weeks. This is sure a far cry from 3 months or 2 months. Or is the MSM practice now, as long as it is presented as anti-Harper, anything goes - the truth or accuracy of facts doesn't matter, if the message of the article is slandering Harper in some way????
