A surprise resignation meant a weekend of confusion in Canadian politics, followed by a chaotic Monday when the house resumed.

Why did Johnston quit? Will Canada now finally get the public inquiry many have lobbied for? Will Johnston's resignation satisfy opposing critics? Will anything? And ... are we gonna end up having an election over this?
