Hello world,
I know it's been a while since I've posted anything but here I am.
This week I'll be visiting parliament to observe the proceedings and hopefully question period.
I've been on a tour of parliament before, but I have never seen the proceedings. What I have heard, read and seen about it lead me to believe that some days are quite a spectacle. With a chamber of commons designed to separate the majority to the opposition by the length of two swords, they were anticipating conflict. However most of the time it tends to be proticall.
Politicians are a peculiar breed. They act high and mighty, above all us common folk but then we see videos like the ones released in January. In which prime minster Justin Trudeau was caught on camera assisting someone through the crowd and accidentally nudging a member of the house along the way. This was blown way out of proportion in my opinion but I digress. It made the politicians appear like children on the school yard that couldn't get along. All of these play into the preconceived notions of how politicians behave and what people expect to see.
I'll let you know how it goes,
Elyse
