Trudeau by nature is very civilzed and for those in the house who are not, I think will find out soon enough their vindictiveness is not welcome. Having a speaker who does not put up with nonsense though is key I think.It should be interesting how the CONs behave in the house as the opposition. They keep talking about changing their tone.

Your point about the need for a strong speaker is well-taken. The last one, Andrew Scheer, was a disaster, in my view.Lornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741324981120408977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-37752744340136022962015-10-27T14:03:21.766-04:002015-10-27T14:03:21.766-04:00May Trudeau keep being open to answering hard ques...May Trudeau keep being open to answering hard questions, lungta.Lornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741324981120408977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-22432744003611588162015-10-27T14:01:19.567-04:002015-10-27T14:01:19.567-04:00We know Lorne, that Ms Mays refusal to speak over ...We know Lorne, that Ms Mays refusal to speak over heckling in the House has shown how things can be changed by example, perhaps Justin and his fresh new MPs can also lead by example aided by a speaker who tolerates no nonsense.
