Another take from Ottawa, Cda: As the Question Period lead for a man 2 PMs called the "most effective Leader of Opposition in 30 yrs"… 1/n

In most advanced democracies, the head of govt is held accountable in, or at least by, Parliament. Cda's last PM was grilled on details… 2/n
-
…of spending scandals in a manner resembling his appearing before a Congressional cmte, every day. And this is normal in most countries. 3/n
-
U.S. govt, via age & obsession w/ comity, lacks basic accountability mechanisms we take for granted, but compensates w/ a free press. 4/n
-
Press briefings & the WH press corps play fill a role usually entrusted to Parliament. Losing them is a threat rising to the same level. 5/5
