PM, Clark act in quasi-monarchic manner

To the editor: Re: "Politicians to blame for disengaged public," Oct. 24. I completely agree with Keith Baldrey's criticisms of the authoritarian and high-handed actions of some of our "leaders," federal and provincial.

I completely agree with Keith Baldrey's criticisms of the authoritarian and high-handed actions of some of our "leaders," federal and provincial. Prorogation should be either abolished outright, or severely regulated. The ability of a premier or prime minister to dissolve Parliament at their convenience is a quasi-monarchic holdover that has no place in a modern democracy.
