Wow….dare we hope?

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."

Another Chorus catastrophe. the guy in charge of talk shows came on at the begnning of Roys show and let everyone know that the Roy Green show is done Jan. 26 for "health reasons". Roy has health issues and has never hidden them. That is the official kiss of death for Chorus as he was one of the last that spoke his mind and had a large listener base. I remember Michael Campbell and Danielle Smith. I hope he does what Michael Campbell did and does his show elsewhere.

Disheartening, but true....
You think you can vote your way out of Canada's problems?

90 of 🇨🇦's 105 Senators are appointed by Trudeau. They serve for life (until age 75). And then there's all the woke judges that are embedded in the system.... You're not gonna vote them out either.

No matter where you look in the Canadian system, the rot is embedded so deep that it makes your head spin... and there's nothing anyone can do to reverse it.

In theory, fixing this dilemma would require re-opening the constitution to solve these obvious design flaws, but in reality that's a non-starter too. It's such a complicated process that you quickly realize that 🇨🇦's constitution was designed to frustrate attempts by "we the people" to make changes.

Read up on what happened to the Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords - many of the changes they tried to make were awful (blatant WEF-type stuff), but the process is illuminating to understand what we would face if we wanted to make changes to this broken...

Manitoba west always knew this, EVEN Trudeau promised electoral reform 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣but ON & QC have never sanctioned it! Another good reason for the WEST to become the 51st State!

Did you know that Canada lacks electoral fairness?
It always has. The majority of Canadians live in Ontario/Quebec in large urban centers. With the help of East coast provinces, they decide who becomes PM. Most elections are decided before the votes West of Ontario are counted.
Some argue that majority rules is democracy. For those of us in rural areas & Western Canada, this is tyranny of the majority. There is no regional fairness, like the electoral college. We lack the ability to vote a PM out.
This spauns regional favoratism. Ontario & Quebec urban centres get whatever they want from federal governments because that is where the majority of voters are. The rest of us have little meaning or value to the political machine.
An exception to this is the Maritimes provinces on the east coast. They have ...
