The Conservatives appear unfazed by the criticism (over prorogation), however, with Industry Minister Tony Clement saying Monday that ordinary Canadians don't consider prorogation to be a big issue.
"It may not be what the chattering classes want, but we're not here to govern on behalf of the chattering classes," he said.
So according tho Clement, people who engage in political discourse and exercise their democratic right to voice their opinions are chattering classes, just annoying background noise.
They are also, according to sides-with-angels-Tony, elites. Definition: the best in a particular society or organization. Gee, thanks, Tony! If the chattering classes are really the best, maybe you should side with them just a little.
Conservatives: working hard at re-defining Canada and Canadians in their dumbed-down image.
