@kinsellawarren@Arturmaks Most European synagogues have been fortresses for decades, with armed police outside at all times. Many Jews in the US go to synagogue armed now. Ontario Govt has been very generous with $$ for security upgrades. Most synagogues have made use of it.
@Arturmaks You’re both missing the point. Strong party discipline in the House is tempered by an MP’s ability to cross the floor. It’s perfectly democratic, but is a BIG risk for the MP to take.
@TristinHopper You only ever see this among former PMs because they had one of the worst jobs in the country and there are only a handful of people alive who can appreciate what it was like. You never see this sort of comradery among sitting politicians or former non-PM politicians.
