Stephen Taylor - a blog on Canadian politics —
Authority: 496
In Ottawa, depending on their content requirements, Hill reporters are loving or loathing the prorogation so far.

When I posted Saturday about what seems to me to be one major barrier in the way of any discussion of an NDP/Lib coalition discussion, my focus was on the apparent lack of a partner which the NDP can expect to deal with in good faith.

I share the displeasure of my Liberal and progressive brethren with Stephen Harper’s decision to prorogue parliament .
