Yep. Suuuure. Mainstream-Canadiana representatives delivering the kind of sentiment Mainstream Canadiana holds. Oh, look! They want a "coaition", or, properly spelled, "coalition", (neo-communist; ie. Liberal-NDP-Green-Bloc-Marxist-Leninist) government, which we recall Mainstream Canadiana held a REAL Tea Party protest against in late 2008 when the Three Stooges' Coalition attempted to usurp the just-re-elected government for refusing to plunge Canada into the red for the useless idea of "stimulating" the economy (Obama proved that the myth of Keynesianist interventionism doesn't work; Canada did pretty well, even though most of our budgeted "stimulus" was never even spent).
So Harper gives MPs a few extra weeks off of Christmas break. That makes him "Hitler"???
See, those "progressives"
truly have a mental disorder!
Oh, and, look- they can't spell worth shit, either. "Coaition"?! WTF is a "coaition"??? Hmm... is that like... coaitus, as in coaitus interruptus? Too bad their mom and dad weren't into that, eh!
Anybody wanna bet that these freakazoids were sent by ACORN-Canada?
Somebody send that picture to ZombieTime.com!
Anyway, here's the perspective of astute political observer Orville H., via e-mail:
From this article in the Globe And Mail
"A crowd of about 100 stood outside the legislature in Halifax"
"In Edmonton, about 250 people"
"In Montreal, hundreds also stood in a downtown public square"
It is safe to assume that numbers are worse in other cities in Canada or they would report them.
To think if anything these figures are inflated, what a dismal turnout for this big rally promoted by the partisan pundits in the media.
Since the CBC took this demonstration on as a personal crusade with incessant publicity for the last few weeks, and yesterday running on screen messages inviting people to attend the prorogation demonstrations in their communities, must just demonstrate once again, that obviously nobody watches the CBC, and we should maybe begin a Face Book protest, that Canadian taxpayers are wasting a billion dollars a year subsidizing this broadcasting abortion. One thing you can be sure, after what Canadians saw on TV and read, these same pundits will not be able to convince Canadians this was a huge success and demonstration - it was a dismal flop. Three party leaders Ignatieff. Layton and May, at the rally in Ottawa as headliners and entertainment couldn't hold a thousand people there for the duration of the rally. Ignatieff will now have to go back to the drawing board, and follow through with his earlier promise in January "to investigate the conduct of our troops on the ground" in Afghanistan, who they have accused of being complicit in committing war crimes in Afghanistan because "they detained and handed over for torture a lot of innocent people". What is more, all Ignatieff and the Liberals have found, to this point in time for substantiation of their accusations of abuse, is some Taliban detainee being hit with a shoe, but their slurs and condemnations of our military continue.
To end on something light, the CBC are reporting, would you believe, that in Calgary "a group of protesters gathered outside the prime minister’s constituency office" ( it was never clarified but it was reported that these were people actually waiting for a bus and not prorogation protesters) and the CBC didn't mention, that in vast majority of the cities across Canada, nobody but nobody showed up.
Sheesh. The Big Old Media essentially either ignored or only briefly mentioned (sometimes childishly, vulgarly pejoratively) the REAL protests in America, the Tea Party protests... but they're trying to make the socialist freaks sound like Mainstream Canadiana, even though very few, relatively, bothered to show up nationwide (and WTF was up with the protests in other countries- is it really an international socialist thing, then?).
Now... this is what a REAL grassroots, mainstream protest looks like... remember the one in Washington against the Obamacrat Reich:
Now, that's something.
But...
The gatherings in Canada yesterday... nothing... nothing... gimme a break... nothing to see
there.
UPDATE:
The two young women holding the signs, well, they're a mystery duo. To wit, via the comments @ smalldeadanimals:
FYI about these two demonstrators (I agree, clearly illiterate and offensive):
They were asked by organisers to either remove the (Hitler) sign or remove themselves from the demonstration. Both were also wearing masks to conceal their identities, and did not participate in chants nor the march, and left when the media had dissipated.
The photo taken here is of them on the outskirts of the demonstration.

Plus...
You might like to know that these two protesters had NOTHING to do with the anti-prorogation rally and only turned up to get some photos taken by a so called Progressive Conservative supporter. I can assure you that they are not students of the UoW and quickly ran off when approached and asked to remove their signs. Their faces were also obscured by masks...it wasn't that cold.
You know, we've got to take the whole protest thing with a grain of salt. Apparently folks aren't necessarily whom they appear to be. Some are apparently phony.

Subject: Bob Rae's hypocrisy on prorogation
While the Prime Minister and members of the Conservative government continue to focus on Haiti relief efforts and meet with Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast to plan the upcoming budget, senior Liberals like Bob Rae continue to make partisan attacks on the routine parliamentary procedure of prorogation. And when it comes to prorogation, Bob Rae certainly is an expert.
Veteran Queen's Park observer Christina Blizzard labels Rae “King of Prorogues” in today’s Toronto Sun.
Blizzard writes, “Rae’s NDP won power Sept. 6, 1990. On Dec. 19, 1991, Rae prorogued the House. They didn’t come back until April 6, 1992. He then prorogued again, Dec. 10, 1992 — and didn’t come back until April 13, 1993.
By 1994, his government had run out of steam. They were running double-digit deficits and he’d doubled the debt. Some of his experimental policies proved laughable at best and disastrous at worst.
“Limping badly, he prorogued for the third time on Dec. 9, 1994. The House did not sit again until the legislature was dissolved April 28, 1995. Rae didn’t even bring in a budget that year.”
Our Government has been clear: the next budget will be tabled on March 4th, 2010. It will focus on implementing the second phase of Canada’s Economic Action Plan, on bringing the budget back into balance and reducing the deficit, and on ensuring a strong economic recovery.
Last year, when the global economy was in free fall, Bob Rae and the rest of the Ignatieff Liberals did not contribute one idea to Canada’s Economic Action Plan. They were focussed on forming a coalition government Canadians did not want.
Sadly, Canadians can expect the same lack of interest in Canada’s economic future from the Liberal Party this year.
While the Liberals are “at work” launching hypocritical attacks, the Conservative Government is meeting with Canadians and working to strengthen the Canadian economy.
... inconvenient truth for the Liberals, Canada's biggest hypocrites... eh!
