Electoral reform committee recommends PR & a binary referendum, Grit minority report rejects that. Remember when people (not here obviously) thought this Grit government would be different with the previous one?

Scarpaleggia to Le Devoir: yes we committed to electoral reform, but we wanted a ranked ballot and no one else did.

Carr is looking at lifting the restrictions on Chinese oilsands investment and also said all necessary force would be used to clear out violent pipeline protests.

In retrospect, since the NDP went so downhill since Jack Layton's death, what is his legacy? Keep in mind that I know some NDP history, but I'm a little fuzzy on the details, not being Canadian or an Dipper (though I am in favor of them).

He took a party on life support and revitalized them into a strong third party. If NDP gets smashed in 2019, particularly here in Quebec, then he'll be tied with Broadbent as their most successful leader and nothing else.

He extracted a 'better balanced budget' from the Paul Martin Liberal minority government.

Also worked fairly well with Harper during the minority era. But before his death Grits really disliked him for toppling Martin and enabling the Harper decade. Hell, even after his death in some Grit quarters. They did forgive him for saying Martin's budgets caused homeless deaths though.

LeBlanc won't be sacked unless there's a meltdown in his department. They've been close friends since childhood.
