At first blush the natural reflex is to say Ya those bad conservatives.
I was thinking about that. So I went and had a look at the Wiki article. Not only does it bring onto the world stage the leader of the opposition--which is not part of the government of Canada, but then it explicitly threatens to defeat the government over this issue.

Now one might think it not so bad, particularly if you are leaning that way anyhow. But Wikipedia is what it is because it is open-sourced information. Wiki didn't write that article. Someone else posted it.
Wiki is supposed to be largely self editing, but in this case there was a big to do about it. Without even mentioning how Wiki works. Its not the encyclopedia Britannica, if that still exists, with tight editorial control. But it is the opposite.

However the matter is settled, when it comes to current politics, shutting down the normal editing procedures so that the very threat of the collapse in government is in the balance for all the world to see... is not appropriate, because it becomes a political tool rather than a reporter of information. If this wiki article were written 10 years from now, there would be no objection because there would be not political points to be gained. But now there is a published threat not even spoken about in parliament yet.

So some Liberal hack got in there first and got to put the spin on it, and no one else can change it any more. That is NOT how Wiki is supposed to work.
