The English Revolution was fought to establish the principle that Parliament is supreme.
In Canada, we elect a Parliament, not a Prime Minister.
The main check on the dictatorial powers of our Prime Minister is the supremacy of Parliament.
If Parliament is not supreme, which is the principle Harper is trying to establish in order...

"Harper Suspending Parliament: An Act Befitting Zimbabwe's Mugabe" To avoid looking foolish in the future I suggest purchasing a dictionary and referring to the word "hyperbole". You are welcome.

In a parliamentary democracy, one is allowed to dissolve parliaments.
In the future, to avoid looking stupid, try referencing something other than a Marxist newspaper.

You look stupid, eh. First of all, you obviously don't know anything about Marxism. Secondly, no other Prime Minister in Canada dissolved parliament in order to avoid a non-confidence motion. So, you also don't seem to know much about Canadian political and constitutional history. Your comments are totally ignorant.

P.S. I hope Harper is paying you also well to spread such disinformation.
