The new democracy

Perhaps assuming the Prime Minister isn’t going to take him up on that offer, Jack Layton says NDP MPs will join prorogation protests.

"The online protest is very interesting. It’s the new way that politics is being done. I think it’s very exciting," Layton said in Vancouver on Wednesday.

"We will be attending the rallies across Canada," the NDP leader promised. "We encourage New Democrats and all Canadians to participate in this grassroots movement to speak out in favor of Democracy."
