Pretty much anyone who takes a close interest in politics knew where this was headed. However Monsef's actions in the House of Commons aside, there does seem to be a lack of understanding on her part, of how our system works. She continually refers to referendums as being divisive, as a a reason for not having one. One might say the same thing about federal and provincial elections, but we have them. Proponents of PR will suggest that this is why we should have PR as it will bring people together. It will dilute power, but there is no evidence that it will "bring" people together. As for fairness, then the ultimate fairness is to let the people  decide. If we have learned anything from this exercise Monsef doesn't belong in cabinet, and even more so in a position that she is woefully unqualified for.
