By DY_nasty Go To PostWhy do you keep trying to make this an American/Canadian thing? lol "i agree with the filthy american dog" is shit i get enough of at workIn our fucked up parliamentary system, with the majority he has, yeah heās essentially the sole actor who matters in terms of enacting policy. The Prime Minister wields an iron grip on power and his or her party and no bill ever gets brought to even a debate unless the PM is okay with it. Unlike Australia and the UK where party backbenchers frequently kick out their leader and go against them, such a thing in Canada is so extremely rare thereās been less than a handful of instances I can recall in the last two decades where a backbencher went against the PM. Most people in Canada donāt even know how powerful the PM is, they wield more individual power than even the US president. Scholars have described our PM as a āfriendly dictatorā.
I'm just saying the long term damage done by throwing accountability in the bushes when its convenient is how you get problems you're not prepared for. You keep saying he keeps pushing progressive policies but he's not the sole actor on that and never was. You're not asking Lincoln to step down ffsā¦. Canada's gonna be as racist as it always is.
They just won't have a PM who smiles in your face and stabs you in the back while also embarrassing the country. The last thing Canada needs is a bunch of immigrants who don't trust the party who let them in*
*Honest American opinion
Iām ranting here. But yeah, the accountability in this case is in the form of the voters. Since we are in an election campaign with debates coming up in two weeks, the voters are going to decide whether or not to give this government another mandate. After that he should resign his position and seat in parliament (if the LPC win).
I'm saying he's not the prime actor in the sense that he's not nor has he ever been the symbol of progressive movement in Canada and his impact is simply irreplaceable.
If there was ever an elected official perfectly suited to be cannibalized by his own party, it's Trudeau. I'm not sure why the immediate reaction is essentially the polar opposite of this approach. And if his power, within his own party, is so significant that his resignation isn't immediately required then the party is faaaaar more fucked than people are letting on.

WASHINGTON ā A potentially explosive complaint by a whistle-blower in the intelligence community said to involve President Trump was related to a series of actions that goes beyond any single discussion with a foreign leader, according to interviews on Thursday.but her emails?
The complaint was related to multiple acts, Michael Atkinson, the inspector general for American spy agencies, told lawmakers during a private briefing, two officials familiar with it said. But he declined to discuss specifics, including whether the complaint involved the president, according to committee members.
Separately, a person familiar with the whistle-blowerās complaint said it involves in part a commitment that Mr. Trump made in a communication with another world leader. The Washington Post first reported the nature of that discussion. But no single communication was at the root of the complaint, another person familiar with it said.
I see what you mean now, fair enough. Youāre spot on but that it is an election changes the calculus. This election is just too important to lose - conservative premiers are in charge of... two thirds(?) of the provinces and a like-minded Conservative Party politician as Prime Minister gets us into actual amending the constitution and Charter of Rights and Freedoms territory, which could potentially be catastrophic for the country.
Iād be willing to change my mind if someone came out with analysis or polls that having him resign as leader would be a positive in the election.

I posted new information that states the complaint involved multiple acts, which is a new revelation as of less than an hour ago, you jerk
By Daz Go To PostThats one of Obama's biggest mistakes, the "they go low, we go high" rhetoric, opened the doors for his successor, a White Supremacist.Thought his mistake was handing the keys to Clinton?

By blackace Go To PostIs there are a good chance that he gets the vote of no confidence like daddy?No chance, him being the PM means he is essentially a King.
Itās possible and potentially likely in a minority government situation.
Pierre Trudeau in 1974 is different because he purposely called a vote of no confidence on himself to trigger an election and then win a majority lol.

Regardless it is different because he wasn't being a racist twat on camera
By blackace Go To PostNot huge on the history of Canada and its PMs but I thought he had the vote called over budget bill?Yeah, that's correct. However he intentionally caused this (can't remember how off the top of my head) because he knew they'd win a majority if an election was triggered.

Donald Trump - A stupid man's idea of a smart man, a weak man's idea of a strong man.
And boy, is the U.S of A packed to the rafters with stupid weak men.

By FortuneFaded Go To PostAt least he knew when to pull out.
This field could comfortably be cut down to 7 (Biden, Booker, Buttigieg, Harris, O'Rourke, Sanders, Warren) without anybody really noticing.
By Roberto Larcos Go To PostAt least he knew when to pull out.
By the way Trump is gonna totally skate in this Ukraine shit unless a quid pro quo is on tape or something. Heās gonna build on it too. DOJ gonna selectively investigate Biden during election season a la Clinton emails, book that shit. This will be just another scandal on the pile for him. His base has already accepted this shit once before. Baked in responses already flying from the right.
Congrats Pelosi.
Congrats Pelosi.
By DY_nasty Go To PostHe's gonna skate because that's not how whistleblowing works lol
Join me in my Pelosi hating, please.
This is what happens when your parties are more concerned about staying in seats and political precedence than the fucking country.
By i can get you a toe Go To PostThis is what happens when your parties are more concerned about staying in seats and political precedence than the fucking country.i mean yeah, that's a thing - but there's a desperate and strong disconnect here about what a president can actually do. If a president decides he wants to strike an immediate bargain with another nation and investigate something like corruption, he can do that shit lol.
if what you want to do is raise an alarm about something the president is doing, whistleblowing isn't the bin you drop this one off in.
By Fenderputty Go To PostJoin me in my Pelosi hating, please.she could do things but she won't. which is why this went to the whistleblower bin
only thing she's gonna do is create a way to distance herself from biden
