    As a Canadian…yeah this doesn’t surprise me. I mean the House of Commons is just one big dog and pony show. nothing gets done during these sessions, it’s just political theatre to get sound bites on the CBC.

    I honestly don’t know any Canadian that actually watches these. It’s just a massive circle jerk only for the politicians sitting in that room.

      I don’t know any Canadian who watches criminal trials, either, but that’s not an argument that they don’t get things done. I’ve only watched one inquest in my entire life. I’ve watched dozens of baseball games (though not in the last 30 years). Doesn’t mean anything.
