No one in Canada took it seriously. You can't have Government MPs vote down legislation sponsored by the Cabinet without undermining the central principle of responsible government. In a parliamentary system, the Government and Parliament cannot be opposed on vital issues. If they are, the Government has to step down and make way for fresh elections. So the people can decide whom to hold accountable to them for the running of the country.

How can a Prime Minister MAKE legislators vote the way he wants? Are Canadianian MPs that spineless? We can't even make senile Democrat Senators call a vote for a Federal Judge unless they are members of the ACLU.
