Canada's crazy constitutional crisis. - By Karim Bardeesy - Slate Magazine

Canada's crazy constitutional crisis. - By Karim Bardeesy - Slate Magazine

As Is It Happens covered this well last night.

From the Slate article:

There has been one positive, unintended consequence: Canadians have rediscovered their appetite for democracy. Old constitutional precedents are being unearthed and discussed; invitations are going out for competing rallies across Canada to be held this weekend. The backroom dealers have failed the electorate, and the public, as in previous crises, has gone "from deference to defiance."
