Is the Speakership supposed to be nonpartisan in Canada? I know it is in the UK but that didn't stop their previous Speaker from trying to sabotage Brexit.
Even the former NDP (communist) leader Tom Mulcair says Speaker Fergus needs to resign, and he defended El Speaker Negro after he made a partisan video in the speaker's robes in the speaker's office (the Speaker is supposed to be non-partisan)

It's supposed to be in theory.
But the speaker is always chosen from the ruling party's ranks because they have the votes.
So in practice, they never are.
Not true- they used to have respect for the position and tried to rule fairly.
The last conservative speaker literally went on to lead the party and he never acted in such a partisan manner.
You may be correct.
But imagine using Andrew Scheer as a counter to anything, lol.
I can't downvote that lol
Yes. They're not allowed to attend caucus meetings.
