Economist hits hard at Harper

Rather than buying into the press releases of his "spin doctors," who claim Stephen Harper's recent prorogue is made on the behalf of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, The Economist has provided their own beliefs about Harper's motivations in 'Harper goes prorogue'.
The article outlines the extensive benefits that Stephen Harper will gain from this recent political move. Among them, tabling 36 bills before the House of Commons, the dismantling of committees whose mandate is to scrutinize the recent blunders in Afghanistan and on climate change as well as giving Harper the opportunity to control the committees of the senate when Parliament re-forms in March.
