OTTAWA : While in Canada . . .
The man Prime Minister Brian Mulroney has asked to plumb the depths of the Canadian soul is due to issue his findings Thursday on the political climate across this confused and irritable country.

They reportedly found Canadians clamoring for binding referendums, proportional representation, the right to recall or impeach politicians, and other checks on political power. The next question: Will the report spur Mulroney to action?
