Conventions require a general agreement or consensus among constitutional actors.
Fair play questions are often contested among those same actors.

Securing a majority via floor crossing?
Carney focuses on the constitutional questions: the confidence of the Commons.
Poilievre focuses on a normative question: legitimacy and fair play.
A good example of why we shouldn't treat constitutional conventions as moral rules.

100% agree.
When you do stuff like this and it isn't covered as the massive scandal it should be, the permission structure to do equally awful stuff is quite high.

100% agree.
Very interesting article on why some people act during a crisis while others are paralyzed. I would say it is an impulse that drives people to respond the way they do. Some are very brave and others act like George Constanza.
Les actes de bravoure, tel celui d’Ahmed al-Ahmed à la plage de Bondi, dimanche, ne seraient pas prévisibles.
Acte d’héroïsme, pourquoi certaines personnes agissent et d’autres non?
