Conservative MP John Williamson says the Committee on Public Accounts, which he chairs, will return three weeks early on January 7 to force a non-confidence motion in Parliament.

The underlying principle of Canada's Parliament and constitutional order is responsible government, said Williamson in a letter to committee members published on social media, noting the federal government must maintain the confidence of Parliament in order to function.

"It is now clear that the Liberal Government does not have the confidence of Parliament," wrote Williamson.

"Conservative, Bloc Quebecois and NDP members — representing a majority of MPs — have all announced they will vote non-confidence in the Liberal Goverment. This would force a federal election"

Parliamentary committees, explained Williamson, are a refection of the House of Commons.

"Given the oversight mandate of the Public Accounts Committee, it is appropriate for its members to begin these non-confidence deliberations while Parliament is adjourned until late January," he wrote.

"In the event Liberal members on the committee attempt to filibuster and delay the passage of this non-confidence motion, I am prepared to schedule meetings throughout January."

The President keeps running rings around his enemies

Carney is so far offside (to use a hockey metaphor) he is not even on the ice, and he has no clue what the game is or where the puck is.

Here's just an excerpt from today's C and C


Consider how brilliant and audacious this strategy was. Trump isn’t bothering to reform the UN. He’s not even pulling the US out of the main body, where we need to stay on the Security Council to make sure nothing goes sideways. (And it’s easier to kill the UN from inside anyway.)

Instead, Trump said, “I’ll just make a new United Nations.”

🔥 The implications are staggering. Trump stands poised to kill the UN softly. For just one example, imagine if the US, from its position on the Security Council, simply vetoes all ‘peacekeeping’ missions unless they are routed through his new Board of Peace. The argument makes itself— UN peacekeeping missions usually fail, the UN is too often deadlocked in voting paralysis, and it is fantastically expensive compared to what it actually accomplishes.
