Phew! Hopefully they’ll gain their senses over the summer!

Hey, I’m feeling optimistic today! 🙂 But, yeah, maybe they’ll use summer to fine tune their evil plans. 🙁

My theory is that this series of measures were meant to go some way to transforming the premiership into something more approximating a French- or American-style presidency, breaking in some fundamental way with the British parliamentary tradition of the various legislatures in Canada.
My sense of what it hasn’t garnered outrage among the ranks of the two main opposition parties is that they’ve held power before, and see the clear benefits to their purposes. I also think that none are particularly committed, in that fundamental way that you see elsewhere, to the institutional practices of the national assembly.
