Well Mr Coyne, you have certainly taken the official Liberal view on things wholesale without any balance in understanding. Ignoring what the Liberal-dominated Senate has been doing for the past 4 years entirely in this blog is not journalism but ideology. Where is the rant that such behaviour is undemocratic when the unelected Senate blocks and amends legislation passed in the elected house of Commons?

This prorogation was necessary because of the Senate alone. Polls have shown that the Afghan detainee "scandal" means little to average Canadians outside the 416 and 514 area codes. I do not think the Tories are hiding from this one bit because it is a non-issue. Furthermore, the Liberals would also guilty in this as the Canadian Military followed the same procedure under them so Dosanjh's faux-outrage that these are war crimes is ludicrous.
