Stevens: Poilievre makes question period his personal theatre via wr_record
Every year, tens of thousands of visitors come to Ottawa, and for many the highlight is the daily question period in the House of Commons — a 45-minute demonstration of democracy in action, or so they are led to anticipate.There was a time when question period could be instructive and even entertaining. These days, it is a disgrace, an exhibition of egregious partisanship, a political demolition derby.
The Liberals make matters worse for themselves retreating behind a wall of secrecy, refusing to give straight answers that might yield useful information. Certainly, cause for outrage, if true. In fact, Trudeau, Chong and Poilievre all learned of the threats at the same time — last Monday morning when the Globe and Mail published a new leak from a secret CSIS report. It turned out that CSIS had not deemed the threatening of a member of Parliament by a foreign power to be serious enough to report to the prime minister.
