Default Clapping with one hand in parliament
anyone notice how in canadian parliament the members clap by hitting one hand on the table instead of clapping with 2 hands? does this come from any historical tradition? any explanation why this is done this way?

It's because the other hand is in the taxpayers' pocket.
