I've started volunteering with the Toronto chapter of Canadians Against Proroguing Parliament sourcing and posting news concerning prorogation and, for that matter, any news item which illustrates the erosion of our demockery er... democracy.
To that end, I started a WordPress blog to chronicle and catalog the articles: CAPP Toronto News Feed. If you have a WordPress account, you can sign on to receive emails of the posts I do using the Email Subscription option on that blog's sidebar.
RSS is, of course, also available.
I am cross-posting it all to Facebook, so you won't have to.
I will be working to fill in significant details since December 30, such as links to the Economist articles, and that front page Globe and Mail editorial.
I'm making great use of WordPress' nested category ability, linking politicians to article when there's merit.
This is working hand-in-hand with my other project, the Prorogation Review-A-Con. I haven't forgotten about it, and took on this work in part because I'm already doing it.
If you see anything missing, let me know by dropping a comment here or on my FB page.
An interrogation of "It doesn’t have to be true. It just has to be plausible..." —Tom Flanagan, former Harper adviser.

The Prorogation Review-A-Con Project
This is the first of hopefully 145 posts I intend to write concerning what each of our 145 Conservative members of Parliament have to say about this last prorogation. If they have nothing to say concerning this controversy, I'm going to at least try to write about what they have been up to during this self-serving extended break away from democratic accountability.
This is part of my contribution to the 31 Days of Action event Canadians Against Proroguing Parliament is sponsoring.
To this end, I ask you all to supply me any links to information (yes, even to the CBC) which will help me with this endeavor. If anyone has a local news report not available on the Internet, I'm quite willing to accept cited excerpts. Personal observations of MPs in action are welcome as well. I am, however, staying away from rumour.
I will be running alphabetically though the list of Conservative MPs, using this page as a guide.
I intend to get this done before Parliament re-opens this March 3. Wish me luck.
