It seems that we only heard the word a short time ago, and already we're hearing it again. Just before the new year, Prime Minister Stephen Harper decided to "prorogue" Parliament鈥攖ake a recess鈥攗ntil after the Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver are wrapped up.

What do you think of parliament being聽 prorogued? Is this, as critics say, a mockery of Parliamentary government? Or, as the Conservatives say, needed to make a "clean break and reboot Parliament" now that the economy is no longer in crisis?
