Let us now think seriously about this place

By Alison Loat

Thanks to Aaron Wherry for drawing attention to this panel on our current Parliament, featuring The Star's Susan Delacourt, The Globe's Jeffrey Simpson and Rick Salutin, Queen's professor Ned Franks and the University of Saskatchewan's Janice MacKinnon, and moderated by The Agenda's Steve Paikin.

If you don't want to spend 35 minutes watching, you can read Simpson's take here and Salutin's here. Delacourt's blog is required reading for Ottawa-watchers, and here's a little 101 on minority parliaments by Franks.

Douglas, Thank you for your frank response.  Please do share ideas for new voices... we are more than delighted to share them here!

Aren't these the usual suspects?  It's called the "Commentariat" for a reason.  

Ahem.  New voices please.  Not mine.  But a new tone, tinge or hue.  Please.  After a while one begins to become part of the problem rather than an observer of the solution.
