In the wake of the recent Truckers Convoy, Canadians have been peppering Governor General Mary Simon's office with calls to dissolve our federal government, and to remove Prime Minister Justin Trudeau from office.
As reported in the National Post, "Rideau Hall’s call centre normally receives between 25 to 50 calls a day. Since the truckers convoy began the number has exploded, with more than 1,500 on Wednesday and over 4,600 at one point in the afternoon on Thursday."
It's an unprecedented development in what has become an unprecedented society. The vehemence by which a segment of our population want Justin Trudeau gone has fired-up to white hot levels. The situation belies a deep-rooted fragmentation in society.
There exists two distinct factions: one found in government's doghouse, one venerated as the apogee of our country. The former are the loathsome. These are the protestor-types. Largely comprised of "Old Stock" Canadians, these people are being transitioned by government and media into social outcasts.
The "in-crowd" are a different breed. These folks are venerated by government and media. Their numbers consist of woke white Liberals and Trudeau's preferred 3rd World migrant communities. Regarding the request to show Mr. Trudeau the door, there is-- no surprise-- good news for the neo-chosen:
"The protesters’ calling campaign is all for naught as there is no way the Governor General could ever acquiesce to any of their demands," says Daniel Béland, director of the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada.
“The Governor General cannot just decide to fire the prime minister like that,” Béland said. Correct he is. Though it is not a question of caving in to demands of the protesters. It is a matter of government policy regardless of who made these demands.
"In Canada, a vote of no confidence is a motion that the legislature disapproves and no longer consents to the governing Prime Minister and the incumbent Cabinet. A vote of no confidence that passes leads to the fall of the incumbent government."
"If a vote of no confidence passes, the Prime Minister is required to submit his or her resignation to the Governor General of Canada, who may either invite the leader of another coalition/party to attempt to form a new government in the House of Commons, or dissolve Parliament and call a general election."
There is no mechanism in Canada for citizens to remove a sitting prime minister. For a maximum of four years, the status of a PM is subject only to the House of Commons.
On the topic of public influence, times have certainly changed. New arrivals to Canada may not realize it, but there was a time when "the will of the majority" had an influence on government. In terms of the pace of transformation, one might believe this existed somewhere between the Neolithic age, and the rise of Cro-Magnon man.
I forgot to mark this an excerpt.

Hell yes! If this strike can collapse the Trudeau government, it will send a shiver down the western globalist and Davos criminal spines.
Hell yeah! They need to hunker down in their bunkers and never come out for fear.
Black Face Castro’s gotta go!
So what is the procedure for this in Canadian law? Is there a procedure to remove a sitting Prime Minister?

New funding website for the Freedom Convoy. Might still be running a little slow but it just loaded for me.
Goal: $16,000,000
Raised so far: $1.5 million
There is a short video update at the top of the page.
There was an article that Justin only received 21% of the vote. Fidels son is not liked.
That is likely counting all registered voters. He pulled in about 32% of the votes—slightly behind O’TOole
No one is well-liked.
Parliament can have a no-confidence vote, but most are probably from his party If even they would join in the no-confidence vote, a general election would have to be held.
The Governor-general can remove any minister, including the PM, but the backlash was so severe the last time this occurred, that it hasn’t been used since.

Parliament votes “no confidence.” this starts a chain reaction. The no confidence can occur due to pressure for each of the members of parliament and how they see the political wind blowing. The opposition would always or almost always vote no just to try to get a new election. The members who are favorable to justin castro will test their own political constituents and if it starts to look bad politically for them will vote no confidence and then that is the end of justin castro.
So what you’re saying is that the people who voted for Justin Cuba Fordeauliquor are only a fringe extremist element!?
Probably racists, misogynists and maple tree mutilators too.
Thank you for this info!!!
Because the Liberal Party has a minority in the House of Commons, they must rely on the support of at least one other party, and if they lost an important vote like a budget or finance vote, there would have to be new elections.
We recently went to a system of mandatory elections every four years (previously a government could wait five years to dissolve and call an election). But that four year timetable is only valid as a necessity for majority governments, for a minority parliament it’s quite likely that the parliament would be dissolved before four years elapses. The key to this is how the most likely coalition partner, the socialist NDP, sees their chances of improving their seat count. If they sense an opportunity they could withdraw support and force Trudeau to try to get support from either the Conservatives or the Bloc Quebecois who have enough MPs to keep them afloat too.
It is considered probable that there will be an election within a year. The fact that the Conservatives dumped their leader, Erin O’Toole, means that they have only an interim leader while a leadership convention is prepared. Trudeau might figure he could use this opportunity to call a snap election. To do that, he has to lose a confidence vote, he can’t just call the election, the Governor General would not accept that. To make sure he would lose the confidence vote he would need to propose legislation that he knows the opposition parties would not support.
It’s a weird system and we only have these minority parliaments on rare occasions, like maybe once every twenty years on average.
The sleepers may have awakened in Canada.
Conservatives just dumped O’Toole as leader.
He is a Rino type of Canada.
It’s amazing I learned something of Canadian politics due to the Freedom Convoy.
Actually, it was about 4 days ago now, and I’ve probably made about 20 posts on the subject.
RINO is an understatement. Somebody compared him to McConnell—McConnell is light years ahead of O’Toole. While he is more charming than McCain, he is less principled than Romney. He sold out the base to which he had pandered and to whom he owed his selection as leader in his acceptance speech.
According to a text from my eldest son, there is now at least one declared candidate as of this evening. Things are moving. WHere to, God only knows.

Its easy, you just accuse him of Russian collusion for 4 years, and then charge him of doing what the previous vice prime minister bragged about doing on camera
