Young staffers a product of Ottawa’s toxic culture: Hébert

 Given the toxic culture that flourishes in this Parliament, only a hypocrite would claim to be surprised by Michael Sona’s crime....

"To work in federal politics these days is to breathe in partisan helium 24/7. Short-term strategic gaming matters more than long-term policy outcomes and consensus has become a poor cousin to finding a wedge to pry voters off a rival.

In private, it leads to an adversarial climate that makes it easier to rationalize making the most of the grey zone between what is ethical and what is legal."
