The last instance happened in August 2020, when Trudeau prorogued Parliament amid heat over the WE Charity controversy.

I'd forgotten about that.

Yep, chastized Harper about his actions for years, then all of a sudden when the lens is on him and WE Charity he's more than willing to prorogue Parliament.
