Without wanting to get into the substance of what is happening, is there any precedent anywhere in the world of a Finance Minister in a parliamentary system resigning on the day of a major economic statement? theglobeandmail.com/politics…

Astonished by the collapse of BC United. #BCpoli's political system first polarized into the CCF/NDP vs a centre-right coalition in the 1940s, but to go from official opposition to unilaterally standing down just before an elxn is unprecedented globalnews.ca/news/10719653/…

Today I learned: There’s a French-language kid’s book about visiting the Parliament Hill cat colony.

This bulletin (I think a new initiative?) is really excellent on what to look out for in parliament over the coming week.

Great thread on what happens when new MPs arrive in Westminster.

🧵What do newly-elected MPs do to get set up in this first week in Parliament? The eagle-eyed among you may have seen new MPs receiving a white envelope from the Returning Officer after their victory was announced. Pictured is @YuanfenYang with hers. It contains a letter....1/

I am rarely on the ol’ Twitter machine these days, but this feels as good a reason as any to briefly jump back on: I have a book coming out in May!

A great thread for those trying to sort out the House of Commons procedure that lay behind the #GazaVote at the UK Parliament yesterday
22 Feb 2024
A few thoughts on how Commons procedure worked yesterday during the SNP opposition day debate on a ceasefire in Gaza.

I'm glad steps are being taken to protect #CDNpoli politicians, but it's tragic that it is necessary.
No one should fear for their lives for serving as an elected representative, and such threats will only discourage citizens from taking part in politics ctvnews.ca/politics/some-mem…

For today's coffee, I'm trying out the @NATO mug I received during the @PIP_PSP's visit to NATOHQ in January. Thanks to @EUinCanada for making the visit possible as part of our study tour to Brussels, and @CanadaNATO for arranging our briefing sessions #WeAreNATO
