Three makes a trend

Susan Delacourt adds her name to the list of Ottawa observers who have managed to notice which opposition party actually spends its time in Parliament dealing with real policy concerns:

The New Democratic Party regularly uses Question Period to tackle policy issues. It's heartening to see, in fact, day to day. The reward, in poll numbers or media attention? Nil.

Fortunately, Delacourt's latter point is looking less and less accurate by the day. And the more commentators recognize the trend with favourable reviews, the more likely it is that the rest of the media and the public will follow.
