Perhaps I'm old-fashioned, but absenteeism from the House of Commons looks bad - sort of like skipping class did in high school. It's time to start showing up and being effective - and if that means shouting down this bunch of thugs currently sitting in the government benches, then do it.
If Mr. Dion isn't able to bring himself to do what needs doing, then it's time for him to step aside and let others take the helm.
