When Parliament resumes in March, if the opposition wants the committee to continue investigating the Afghanistan detainee issue, then they are going to have to approve Harper's budget. Otherwise, they will have to risk an election, which Harper is going to be spending months setting up to be on his own terms.
Starting in January, expect Harper to launch more Conservative ads, and spend even more of our money on "government" partisan advertising, angled towards boosting Conservative fortunes.
Expect the ten percenters to fly though mailboxes in key ridings.
Those bills lost through Harper's arrogant prorogation? Every one of importance will be promoted again, as if new, I expect. Sadly, it works. The public has a short memory, and will mostly hear the Harper rhythm not realizing it's a tune they've heard many times before.
The PM has far too much power in this country. The opposition would be wise to concentrate on that point.
