'Twas the season for our last political live chat of 2012.
Kady O'Malley convened her "people's caucus" of Santa's helpers to draw up a collective list of all that was naughty and nice about Canadian politics in 2012:
- What disappointed you?
- What surprised you?
- Who offended you?
- Who impressed you?
It was all fair game as we debated who deserves coal and who deserves candy canes.
And we spared some thoughts for next year, considering these questions:
- What New Year's resolutions would you suggest for Canadian politicians in 2013?
- What are your political predictions for 2013?
Read a recap of the chat below, or continue the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #WwK.
Kady and Janyce will be back in the second week of January for the first Wednesdays with Kady of 2013. Thanks to all for taking part this year.
