Going Prorogue

I admittedly know very little about Canadian politics, but I thought that Prime Minister Stephen Harper was supposed to be the more palatable choice for voters who were scared by the creepy evangelicalism of Stockwell Day and Preston Manning. But apparently he is going as far right as he can? What is up, Canada? You guys are supposed to be the sane ones! Can’t you reanimate the corpse of Lester Pearson or something?
