Rather than see partisan politics at work during these past 10 days, Canadians have seen government work — and not too badly either. What is conspicuously — and happily — absent in the aftermath of this crash is crazily partisan politics. I asked around this week about what might have happened if Parliament had been sitting when this tragedy happened. Parliament can be especially good when it is dealing with tragedy, especially mass tragedy on this scale. Canadians wanted to see their government working, fewer games and talking points, more substance and co-operation.
