Pros and Cons

Prorogation at least relieved us, temporarily, from The Ottawa Circus every weekday afternoon! It's a pretty poor circus, as circuses go - no lions but lots of clowns.

The Ontario ex-Tory who was stopped by a police officer last September and charged with: careless driving, cocaine possession, above legal blood-alcohol level and driving 43 KPH above the speed limit was sentenced to a $500 fine for...careless driving! The other three charges were dropped. His luck held out since his spouse is a minister of Stephen Harper's government. "Good luck!" I say to him. However, if everything was above-board and no hocus-pocus was involved, the Ontario police and legislators must be doing a frightfully poor job.
