My column this week on Loonie Politics looks at a rather bewildering column by Lawrence Martin in which he suggested that the PMO be stuffed full of backbench MPs, for some inexplicable reason. Because such a suggestion betrays a complete lack of civic literacy, I took the opportunity to not only correct Martin, but to provide a refresher on the real job of a backbench MP.
