Run Away! Run Away!

The brave Harper tories are doing the obvious in the face of a potentially devastating issue: running away. Word is that Parliament is to be prorogued before Christmas, only to return in March, table an election budget full of delayed Christmas goodies and then drop the writ.

As they undoubtedly know more than the rest of us, the Afghanistan detainee issue is not going to go away. So far, they have not taken much of a hit from it, as was predicted. Giving the issue time to cool off and then calling a snap election in which we are bought with our own money is a proven strategy. And hopefully deal with the fallout from this issue from the comfort of a majority.
