  • Over the five years since it was established, Logan told me, the CICC has done little to enforce the code of conduct that’s supposed to deter the kind of malpractice Bansal and Mac’s were engaged in.

    This right here is the core of the problem, and it isn’t unique to the TFW program. We write these carefully crafted laws and then don’t fund enforcement.

    I think we ought to just drop the program. It doesn’t help Canadians (besides business owners who want cheap labour) and we clearly can’t make it live up to our aspirations.














  • That’s solving the wrong problem IMO. If you want less floor crossing then address why people do it.

    We have the most whipped vote of any Westminster system. In theory MP’s can vote against their party. In practice they don’t because they’ll get kicked out.

    It’s harder and harder for MP’s to change or choose the leader. It’s effectively a single choice that you’re stuck with them until they resign. There are very limited in how they can replace or hold a leader to account.

    These are the first two I thought of, but there are other issues to work through too.
