LMAO!!
Wow, I wouldn't hold my breath on that... These leftists are just the Canadian version of our own scumbags, the Democrats. They will use the holiday break only to fine-tune their strategy and intensify their efforts to remove Harper.
Wow, thank you two for shedding light on this. I took a Canadian History class in college but forgot about how the GG works in Canada.
Not once the vote is put to the House. And technically the Prime Minister serves at the Governor General’s pleasure, the requirement being the PM has the confidence of the Parliament
You sail?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Funny you asked.
Yes, passionately.
Mostly in the tropics.
I am one of only a few who has played the pipes from the bow,up to a mooring buoy off the harbor on St. Johns in the Virgin Islands. They knew we had arrived, and immediately were invited to play at a wedding taking place on shore within the hour. What a party!Thats what I like about sailing.

Aunties understanding of Canadian political history is a bit imperfect.
Harper caused parliament to be prorogued in August 2007 to prevent Royal Assent of a bill that the opposition had combined to pass that would have unrealistically required Canada to implement the Kyoto accord, something which Grit governments had failed to do over more than a decade. Prorogue kills any unfinished business on the Order Papers of both the House and the Senate and kills any Bill that has been passed but had not yet received Royal Assent.
Also, the Grits beloved 'ti Jean had more than once used prorogue for partisan political purposes, the latest having been to attempt to frustrate timely delivery of an Auditor General's report on the sponsorship scandal.
Thanks for the correction.
You’re welcome.
:-)
Wonderful!
Do you keep a boat down there somewhere?
