    • First, there was the problem of gatekeeping. […]
    • [Second] problem: voices at the margins of politics had special cause to be righteous and zealous. On important issues – such as the equality of the sexes – it would not do to remain polite or seek a moderate compromise."

    And hints at Keystone XL being a part of the deal…

    Weird how Mark Carney hasn't mentioned anything about Keystone in the deal... Is it because he's worried that his voters will turn on him?

    Really grim proceedings in the House of Representatives today. The #Labor Party hand in hand with the #Liberals and #Nationals.
