Canada

it would be common sense to include something to the point of, “Despite coming from a rocky beginnings, he has made great strides and today, is a hero.”

Common sense recognizes that they are completely unrelated. Such notice serves no purpose. If you have an allotted time slot and are struggling to fill it with cat-saving related material, I guess you can reach deep to pad it with such fluff, but it's completely and utterly meaningless. You could just as relevantly talk about that one time he went to visit his grandma if you really need fluff.

Again, if they thought that was okay to praise him, why all the apologies and the resignation.

Because emotions broke loose. As you pointed out earlier it was done in a panic. You also indicate that it was born of a mistake, which further proves that it was irrationally driven as common sense says that mistakes are guaranteed to happen when humans are involved, and thus are no big deal.

If we accept that a mistake happened and that mistake justified a larger discussion in a rational and logical manner, what was the rush? Common sense says that a rational discussion is just as good a month later as it is immediately. Common sense would have allowed time to schedule a rational discussion and would have taken care to do it right.

But there was no common sense as the crazies who can't think straight grabbed hold and were frothing at the mouth for 'resolution' immediately. Think about it from the other side and what they are dealing with. The crazies aren't something you want to mess with. They are known to do stupid things, even going as far as violence. Of course you're going to be in a panic to do something, anything, to ensure it doesn't escalate.

Common sense says that a rational discussion is a better tool, but common sense went out the window as soon as someone heard the word "Nazi". It's total batshit crazy, but that's Canada for you. As a population, we're not very well educated.

Yes, this is why they just sit there after we vote for them.

There is a need to have someone carry the 'town hall' results from back home to merge with the results from every other riding. There is a job there – it's just not one that makes decisions. The decisions are already made by the time they arrive in Ottawa.

If you think your representative is a mind reader and leave them to guess what decisions you want made, then they may have no choice but to make them for you. Likewise, if all you have is a janitor and a heart attack, the janitor may have no choice but to try open heart surgery in a last-ditched effort to save your life. But neither of these are expected to bode well. It is not the job they signed up for.
