A new Angus Reid survey, released on Thursday(opens in a new tab), asked nearly 1,900 Canadians to choose three words out of a list of 10 that they would use to describe parliamentary proceedings given what they have seen, read or heard.
The most common responses were “posturing” at 54 per cent, “useless” at 46 per cent and “dishonest” at 38 per cent.
