Thousands gather for 'No Prorogue' rallies
Just over two weeks ago, quiet Internet chatter began amongst members of the newly formed and fast growing Facebook group Canadians Against Proroguing Parliament (CAPP), with individuals in cities across the country and the world coming together over a single, coordinated idea: to take to the streets on Saturday Jan. 23 and collectively express their concern over Prime Minister Stephen Harper's prorogation of Parliament.
As a result of the prorogation, parliamentarians will not return to Ottawa until early March, 37 bills are scrapped and committee work is halted.
