this is really a co-option of our system.

the idea that the prime minister can just pull the plug on a parliamentary committee, as though he's the king, is completely absurd in the context of a westminster system of government. but, we have a tradition of parliamentary spinelessness in this country that really needs to come to an end...

i think that the members of this parliament should have turfed trudeau months ago. and, i've been vocal about it. how long will they let him run roughshod over our democratic institutions for?

and how long will we keep electing mps that just do what they're told?
