Good work, gumshoes. So we should ask the question that was never answered. Since Tory MP's obviously weren't hard at work, and since there is no new major initiative, why was parliament prorogued unexpectedly?Of course, we don't really have to ask. We won't get an answer, but we already know. I...

What do Gerard Kennedy and The Fraser Institute have in common? They both want to have a conversation about raising the GST.
