Quebec Premier Jean Charest announced he will prorogue the National Assembly to update the Liberals’ agenda. Charest said this is completely normal for a party in majority to do at this point in its mandate.
Charest’s Liberals were re-elected in December 2008 and do not have to call another election until December 2013.
The Parti Quebecois opposition says that Charest is using prorogation as a tactic to distract the people from his government’s shortcomings.
Last week, Charest replaced his chief of staff and shuffled his cabinet.
Charest said the National Assembly will be prorogued by the end of February.
 

WHAT? You missed the Decemberists show? Awwwwww nuts! 

Yes, the tickets were pretty damn expensive (35$). Yes, it was cold as hell… and yes, I nearly destroyed a defective parking meter outside the Olympia theatre. If you saw me swearing and kicking machine #Q045, please don’t think any less of me; I was having a “case of the Mondays”.

Smart, charismatic and dedicated are just a few of the words thrown around when Joel Suss’s name comes up in conversation. A relatively new addition to CJLO, Joel has been a member for just over a year. In the short time that Joel has been on board, his show, The Sports Injection (which he hosts alongside Taimur Tanoli and Ben Wenger) has become a fan favorite. With calls from local fans to those far away, the energy on the show is always positive and the people who call in, although they don’t always agree with the boys, still love and respect them.
