Round tables are for forming teams and creating consensus.

Podiums are for *winning.*

Maybe this says something about the physical construction of Parliament Hill, in which the House is divided into government and opposition sides. Perhaps it needs to be turned into a museum, with a new parliament being constructed in a semicircle.

We'll need to find the real estate to house it. Perhaps a thread over at [livejournal.com profile] ottawa to debate the matter...?

Still lots of room on LeBreton Flats, although I suspect Harper would be just as happy to bulldoze and sell off the lot and conduct Parliament in an Atco trailer somewhere.

Pass, thanks. I think Parliament ought to have a bit more dignity than that. Hell, if it weren't with my lack of familiarity with building safety codes, I'd try to design a building for it.
