Prorogue is not a person who is for roguishness.
Prorogue: to discontinue a session of a parliament without dissolving it.
I'd never heard this word before yesterday. Now I can't get away from it.
Also, the King-Byng affair. I hadn't thought of that since Grade 10 Canadian History (compulsory).
As much as I would prefer this to be a crooning battle between Elvis and der Byngle (Blue Christmas vs White Christmas?) it's not.
The King-Byng Affair was a Canadian constitutional crisis that occurred in 1926 when theGovernor General of Canada, Lord Byng of Vimy, refused a request by the Prime Minister, William Lyon Mackenzie King, to dissolve parliament and call a general election. (wikipedia)
All we're missing now is to find out that Steve-o is getting advice from his dog or talking to portraits of long-dead relatives.
Steve has to go!

...still dancing in the streets out here
You must be the only one in Alberta dancing. All the Albertans I see on the news are angry that the Rest of Canada is dissing their man.
the tv news must have detoured away from the happy dancing street my friends and I were dancing on tho we admit it is but a tiny cul-de-sac
guess you ain't dancing no more.
