is no need to govern. Unfortunately, it is not serving democracy. In 2008 when PM Stephen Harper prorogued parliament on December 4 and again on December 30, there was a vocal outcry by the opposition, media, and citizens. Nelson Wiseman, a political science professor at the University of Toronto, wrote of Harper that “no Prime Minister has so abused the power to prorogue”.

Also during wartime, our government spent less money than this government.
