We have seen the national media endlessly condemning the Prime Minister for the recent proroguing of Parliament until March 3, 2010.   
It is interesting to note that when the Liberal government of the day under Jean Chretien prorogued Parliament (four times in 10 years) the last time for four months, that action didn’t seem to faze the national media. In fact, there was little media attention and most Canadians seemed unaware of the event or its political implications.
