Paul Martin is going to make a prime-time speech to Canadians on Thursday.

On his blog, Warren Kinsella said: "Wow. They're going prorogue. Amazing. I wonder when the radio and television stations are going be seized, and the Opposition parties imprisoned? Amazing. This means a Conservative majority. Count on it."

But that might be wishful thinking on Mr. Kinsella's part. :)

Here's the news release.

The CTV.ca story says PMO aides are stressing Martin will not be proroguing, calling an election or resigning

Here's a paraphrase of what CTV's Mike Duffy had to say:

... The need for such an address arose from Wednesday's caucus meeting, where Liberal MPs expressed frustration at not being able to get their side of the sponsorship story out to Canadians through news media.

Duffy said Martin would use the televised address to suggest that the opposition is pre-judging the information arising from the sponsorship inquiry hearings in Montreal, and he will ask Canadians to await the results of a full report from Justice John Gomery in the fall.

This is my day off. I didn't want to spend it updating my blog with politics stuff, but man-o-man, what crazy days.
