Your Excellency:
I was extremely displeased to learn of your decision to allow Mr. Harper to prorogue Parliament, given the opposition parties' stated lack of confidence in his Government.
As a fellow Canadian, I am sure you can understand my position: this is a matter to be settled by the people of Canada, rather than Her Majesty or any of Her Majesty's representatives. The prorogation of Parliament is a direct threat to our democracy and, in my opinion, completely inappropriate given the urgency and severity of the current worldwide economic situation.
For the next several weeks, as a direct result of your decision, the people of Canada will be left with a government in which we do not have confidence and a parliament which is unable to act. Your Excellency, I respectfully ask you to explain your decision to Canada and the world.
Sincerely,
Benjamin Shymkiw
