Determined to short-circuit an investigation into how the government mishandled the treatment of Afghan detainees? Wait until the eve of New Year's Eve – when MPs are in their ridings or down south, readers and viewers are few, and that day's news is dominated by the picks for the men's Olympic hockey team – and suspend Parliament.
That government officials or politicians may have been negligent in safeguarding the treatment of Afghan detainees, thus violating the Geneva Conventions, is of no real concern to most Canadians, the Tories maintain.

While that may be true, it is an indictment of the Canadian people as a whole. By allowing this government it's arrogance, we are abrogating any right to reasonable treatment of ourselves as individuals.
Just wait..........

That may be true. People don't realize how this directly affects them. It does, right down to our very core. People need to see how we treat the least of us reflects on how all of us are treated. Prisoners under the Geneva conventions doubly so.
We are Borg. You will be assimilated.
They submit.
It is clear we are at the end of freedom as we knew it. If you won't protect your own, how is you could protect anyone's.
5 seconds to midnight.
After being paid $60 million a week to debate Tory bills, they threw out the works to start all over again, in a recession. Don't you feel proud to be paying your taxes, for this?
Watch the Tories campaign in the next election on a promise to bring in what they just threw out. Do you feel insulted by that? Are you going to vote for such insulting assholes ?
Parliament is shut down until the olympics are over. Suppose a false flag attack happens during the games. God forbid it should happen but lets say a muslim woman from Iran, traveling from the united States to Vancouver without a passport and wearing exploding breast implants, gets on a plane and blows a whole in an outside wall causing decompression and the plane crashes into a refinery between Port Moody and Vancouver which releases hydrogen sulfide in quantities sufficient to kill a large number of poor people in the lower mainland.
Maybe the plane crashes into whatever temple of Justice holds all the documented evidence of massive corruption committed by the BC government, private companies, the BC Justice system and the RCMP. All the people who have any personal evidence just happen to be there on that day. All the evidence is destroyed and large numbers of people are killed.
Then Harper could impose martial law and drag out the draconian measures without having to answer the pretend oppositions questions. The shock doctrine! How about that type of scenario?
