How the filibuster that nobody cares about proves that it’s the right time to have an election

The Liberal government’s decision to offer a targeted break to Canadians on the GST, starting in December, along with a lump-sum payment next spring, may or may not bring a pause to a two-month-long filibuster by the Conservatives in the House of Commons.

But the truly amazing thing about that filibuster is that nobody seems to care about it. You could not find a more compelling reason to call an election right now, today, this hour, than the fact that Parliament has been doing nothing for two months and most people haven’t even noticed.
