They claim that it is because of the Vancouver Olympics But those of us who think about it know that it is because they were getting too much heat in parliamentary commitees about the handing over of Afghani detainees to the Afghanis, who can then play with them in one of their nice jails; about safety issues at the Chalk River Nuclear plant, which produces isotopes for medical use; about the misdeeds of the RCMP and the Military Police. With parliament out, these committees are effectively silenced. Also, Harper can now fill five Senate vacancies with his right-wing buddies. Damn, these tories are jerks. What really pees me off about them, is that their bottom line is: "Screw democracy."
