Miscellaneous material for your mid-week reading.
- Lee Berthiaume and David McGrane both discuss the team and the strategy that helped the NDP to build to its current level of support and success. And it's worth noting that since the NDP is still in the position of working to allocate the new resources that come with its Official Opposition role, there's no reason why the current team can't be added to (rather than replaced by) a new set of voices assembled during a leadership race.
- Meanwhile, Dan Gardner proposes one possible tribute to Jack Layton in the form of a codified set of Parliamentary rules. And PLG reminds us of Layton's own statement that we shouldn't give in to defeatism.
- It of course isn't receiving anywhere near as much attention as the Cons' party line that all trade agreements must be supported at all times without question. But the Star prints a few letters showing that plenty of Canadians aren't buying the spin.
- Finally, Dan Leger calls out the Cons for their empty gesture politics.
