Hebetude in Parliament?

This just in - only two-thirds of Canada's Members of Parliament have university degrees. Is our government dumbing down?
A Public Policy Forum report says that there have been changes made in the Members brought in by the last election. Along with the education stats comes the news that most of the current Members of Parliament made their way to a seat from business backgrounds rather than the more traditional lawyer-becomes-politician route. The last election also whitewashed Parliament, when ethnic diversity and the number of foreign-born Members decreased.
David Mitchell, president of the Public Policy Forum, says these changes are responsible for the "unprecedented level of partisan acrimony" currently displayed in Parliament. Have you ever turned the TV on to watch the doings in Parliament? It's like watching any teacher's worst nightmare-come-true of the class from hell. So many of our representatives act like they never learned any manners, never looked up the meaning of the word "civility". You have to wonder sometimes, with the spectacles Parliament has had to offer lately, how is our country supposed to continue functioning well?
