Do elections in Canada even matter? Last I checked your conservatives make AOC seem rational.

Not quite But our conservative government policy makes the conservatives look exactly like the liberals, just bargain basement

Ain't a leaf my guy, just saw it come across my feed. But from the outside looking in, Trudeau dous seem determined to implement and enforce feel good authoritarian policy while simultaneously burning Canada to the ground and selling the ashes to China.

So no different from any other country.

Trudeau has been unique in his ability to sell every bit of Canadian land to China. Even California would blush in comparison.

Most other countries have the good grace to sell out to china under the table.

If she did, Canada would be a republic within a week.

She has no power.

More like: if she wanted to do anything about the world she helped create she would. That family has more power than most want to admit, because then they have to admit their directly involved in what's happening.

More like: if she ever tried to exercise power, Canadians would end the farce that is "Royal ascent" in a heartbeat.

If thr UK were to try to enforce its Dominion over Canada, what would our obligation be? We're allied to both, but rh UK would be in the legal right, but also the Monroe doctrine.

That is, if we cared about holding up our alliances and laws when they're inconvenient.

The UK has no dominion over Canada. The British Royals do.

Semantics

It's not semantics no. Canadians declared their independence as a self-Governing body in 1867, on July 1st, hence why it's known as Canada day, and is a national holiday.

The UK holds no power on Canada. The UK and British Royals are 2 very different entities.

"British Royal" isn't actually even accurate : The Queen is Queen of Canada, an independent body that shares its monarchy with other countries of the commonwealth.

You may be under the mistaken opinion that the Queen abdicated rule over the UK, she actually divorced her lands and power from the UK, while maintaining a legal hold over all the countries of the commonwealth. The royal family does most of it's "ruling" via finance now, while they "self govern" the little stuff.

She just decided to leave the mundane day to day ruling of the peasants to the peasants via this thing the Black Nobility came up with where the House of Commons pretends it's in charge and no one has reason to hang the odd noble anymore. It's how most of this stuff they call democracy really works.

I see a single Nay vote.

Mr. Derek Sloan (Hastings—Lennox and Addington) Independent

Independent because they kicked him out of the supposedly conservative party for actually talking like he might be a tiny bit conservative on one issue.

The only member of parliament that didn't just commit treason.

Make him the leader of the new government.

He was a leadership candidate in the leadership race for the Conservative party. He was branded "Extreme right" and "Racist" by other Conservatives, ultimately lost against Erin "Everything I don't like is Racist" O'Toole, and then was kicked out of the party.

Canada doesn't have a Conservative party, it has 2 Liberal parties. One just happens to be blue.

Change the rules and defraud the elections you want to win, then change the rules and shut down the elections you don't want to lose. That's Democracy, right?

Imagine if Trump… naaah we know what the result would be and Trudeau would be leading the charge.

This isn't Trudeau though. The opposition is afraid Trudeau would get a majority Government if elections took place now, so the opposition tabled this motion.

This is the type of thing we've used as an excuse to overthrow governments in the ME and Central America in the past.

Elections are really inconvenient because we might lose our positions. Better to just not have them.

Step 1: Suspend elections "only during a pandemic". Step 2: Declare a neverending pandemic.

They never outright come out and say they're being dictators, they always have a few extra steps to put a veneer on it.
