Two years ago, the country granted the Conservatives a majority government. This morning, these are the top headlines on everyone’s chosen news aggregator, National Newswatch:

Grim report warns Canada vulnerable to an aboriginal insurrection

Disgruntled Arab states look to strip Canada of UN agency

Aaron Wherry, in his corner on this site, posed a question:

Do you know where your $3.1 billion went?

The sensationally forecast aboriginal insurrection, which came out of a paper published by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, is not the top story of the week. Nor are the Qatar-led efforts to move the International Civil Aviation Organization out of Montreal. Wherry’s question is probably the biggest of the week. If you’re unfamiliar, the story so far is this: the government can’t really account for $3.1 billion of anti-terror funding earmarked between 2001 and 2009. There’s no suggestion that money was misspent, or hoarded, or anything so untoward. But plenty of questions remain about what did actually happen to that money.

The government’s no further along in providing a coherent response to all of that, and its ministers are still busy putting out all those little fires set by Auditor General Michael Ferguson when he released his spring report.

What a great week to celebrate that big majority win, amirite?
