Cheating at the world’s sport. Not a good look, Canada.

It’s the middle of the summer and I’m delving deeper into the civics library. Here’s a prescient thought from C.E.S. Franks in his book, The Parliament of Canada (1987):

Reforms that are not solidly grounded in reality are not likely to succeed. Quite the reverse, they are likely to create unreasonable and unreal expectations which cannot be met. The resulting failures lead to disillusionment, pessimism, and a loss of legitimacy for the public and participants. Constant reform can become as much a habit as immobility and can be as inappropriate a response to problems.
