Canadian PM Stephen Harper
He prorogues parliament, again. One year after dodging what appeared to be the end of days for his party by invoking an obscure never before used Rules of Parliament technicality, PM Harper does it again. Embroiled in a nothing good can come of this request from Parliament (a.k.a. the elected voice of the people) to provide them with information on the Afghan PoW question, Harper asks the Governor General to prorogue (dissolve) Parliament until such time as the Winter Olympics (?!???) end in March 2010.
