Dwight's comment that Rick Norlock has dismissed this movement because it's "only liberals or NDP activists" illustrates why the action is so necessary.

Norlock and all the other tories routinely cover their ears to avoid hearing from anyone without a party membership, so sending them a letter or attending their bogus so-called budget consultations is a waste of time.

They need a figurative bomb dropped on their heads before they will pay attention, and this is it.

Whether or not thousands turn up across the country on Saturday, many citizens have had their political awakening with this proroguement, and the impact will range far and wide for a long time to come.

The dinosaurs' days are numbered, about to be slain by the growing democratic benefits of technology.

Hi Ben. We didn't slag the Facebook group for not being involved, we simply wondered if they take it to the next level and attend the rally or will they end their involvement at the click of the mouse?

Isn't that a legitimate question when 200,000 people sign up for a Facebook group? You've denounced online petitions numerous times on this blog, and isn't joining a Facebook group against something essentially the same thing?

Rick Norlock seems to think it's only "Liberal or NDP activists" who are against prorogation, and the rally on Saturday will be an interesting experiment to see if he's right.

But, personally, I think that even if the turnout at the rally is only 20 people, the PM's decision has made regularly apathetic people at least take notice of his doings, and that can't be a good thing for him and his quasi-dictatorship.
