Pay attention to QP

My column this week on Loonie Politics takes umbrage with a recent CBC Sunday Edition essay that calls for reporters to boycott QP rather than to give MPs and their antics any airtime, figuring that the "observer effect" is at work and depriving them of said observation will force a change in their behaviour. As you can expect, I show why this thinking is not only wrong, but suggest the way to actually have an impact on the way that MPs interact with the press with respect to QP.
