Demonstration in the House

Today's Question Period in the House of Commons was upset when a very loud group of people in the gallery started to yell and chant when a Con Minster gave a non-answer to a question from Smilin' Jack concerning pensions.

The chanting continued as the Speaker stood in front of his throne, presumably debating whether to have the loud group shot or jailed.

The demonstration got me thinking.  How does the average Canadian get his voice heard in the Commons?  None of us really think that our local MP would ask any embarrassing questions on our behalf if they were a member of the government side of the House.  Could you imagine in you best dream an instance where Pierre "I got my pension, so piss off" Poilievre would ask the Prime Minster if he would gut the Canada Health Act if he got a majority in Parliament?

Canadians are sheep being led by crooked shepherds with crooked crooks.  Maybe it is time for all of us to go to the House to yell and chant.

By the way, it is interesting to note that the protesters appear to have been sitting in the Conservative gallery.  (A set up?)
