Justin Trudeau wants to prorogue Parliament to buy time before the election. Voters will punish him for it, says Prof James Allan, but it's a mistake he must be allowed to make without activist judges getting in the way.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Hmm I wonder which party your a member of with the comments about louise Minihan.
Pretty pathetic to be honest. These silly childish attacks between different progressive organisations is gonna have to stop. There's bigger fish out there to fry for gods sake. Could you not just write congrats to the workers and leave it at that.
And on that note congratulations to the coca-cola workers on their successful motion.
Yeah Louise is great. I'm glad i voted for her and I'm not annoyed at all that my Sinn fein vote was for someone who left the party as soon as the votes were counted. Pity she couldn't stay at teh meeting to vote on the motions but im sure she's very busy with representing her constituents. Yeah.
I have to say that its a bit rich for someone calling themselves coca cola workers abú to excuse a cllr's O Donohue like expense claim and then not attending a very important meeting on the ground that there are bigger fish to fry.
It's pretty clear alright that this is a shinner, or a shinner sympathiser, having a go at Louise Minihan. People shouldn't be criticised for making that point because the motivation of the person writing the piece is fair game.
But on the other hand if Labour, Sinn Féin and People Before Profit councillors unite to put through motions backing workers while an eirigi councillor signs in for the expenses before heading off, that's a legitimate point to make.
Either Louise Minihan signed in to claim expenses but didn't bother to stay to vote on these motions or the person who posted this in the first place is lieing. If it's not a lie then even if Sinn Féin are using it to score points (and they clearly are) that doesn't mean they're to blame for her actions.
