First off, since when do we celebrate legislative anniversaries before the law in question has even hit the magic five year mark? Is this a new trend? Was ITQ left off the invite list for the GST cut birthday party? And why Winnipeg? Why Steven Fletcher? I mean, it’s hard to see how this falls under ‘democratic reform’. It just seems so … random. I guess it’s possible that this is just one of a series of cross-country celebrations, but so far, it’s the only advisory that has shown up on the gallery listserv. I’ll keep y’all posted if it turns out to be a sea-to-sea-to-sea sort of thing.
