COMIC GOLD IN COVID COMMONS

  Rex Murphy:  So what does he do, what arrow does he draw from his tactical quiver, to bring Trudeau to heel on the Bloc’s latest demands? What menace can he present to the prime minister, what scourge so fearful, that Trudeau must succumb to his, Blanchet’s, pleadings?
   Well, (can the Sergeant-at-Arms do a drumroll, please) here it is:
   “The Bloc Québécois is threatening to support a resumption of in-person sittings of the House of Commons five days a week if the Trudeau government doesn’t agree to a number of demands.”

   Allow me to savour the comic high point: The Bloc, the separatist juggernaut, is “threatening” a resumption of the in-person sittings of the House of Commons. Gold, I tell ya.
