Arthur Kent, the brother of junior foreign affairs minister Peter Kent, is less than impressed with what his brother's boss has done so far as the House of Commons is concerned.
"Canadians are often dismissed as being big on beer and hockey but largely apathetic about politics. But a mounting Facebook protest shows that while “Hosers” can hardly be called policy wonks, they’re not taking kindly to their “house of the people” being hijacked by the leader of a parliamentary minority," Arthur Kent writes on his SkyReporter.com blog. "Why have more than 130,000 Canucks set their Mooseheads aside to join a Facebook group called Canadians Against Proroguing Parliament?"

Perhaps you could explain, David, just why a comment by a junior minister's brother is important. I realize that he is a reporter, but that is not quite reason enough. Do tell, enquiring minds want to know.
I have a great uncle twice removed that isn't happy as well…
“Why have more than 130,000 Canucks set their Mooseheads aside to join a Facebook group called Canadians Against Proroguing Parliament?”
Getting 15% of the university students across Canada to click a mouse is not exactly a difficult task, nor indicative of a TAXPAYER uprising.
Sure, there is a fraction of the Facebookies that are not students,
but there is no denying this is driven by university profs and their students.
But the question needs to be asked,
will Iffy table a motion to have prorogation powers removed from the PM, current and future?
To what end is this nagfest coming?
My Father's brother's Nephew's Aunt's Sister's Niece's Neighbour's Second Cousin's friend who lives next door to Peter Kent's cousin's barber's house really hates Harper and has joined the facebook page. Just thought that might be important.
