Author Topic: Stephen Harper's Government Falls (Read 999 times)

So today had a bit of Canadian History, since the government has been kicked out for being in contempt of Parliament.
Stephen Harper is no longer our Prime Minister, the vote ruled to kick him out being 156 to 145.

Looks like another Election for Canada, apparently starting on Saturday. Sad and shameful day to be a Canadian.
I wonder who the next Prime Minister is going to be?

Yes I'm aware you're all American but this is still some important stuff in North America.

1/2 majority to kick a prime minister out?
Not even 2/3 majority?

Not like any other parties are any better.

Keep in mind, Kalphiter, that it isn't a bipartisan system.

Oh no. :U I was just talking to my Canadian friends, including the one in NYC I'm going to see on Monday.

Wait so.

What exactly was it he did, in like detail, to have him kicked out?

Cause if it's anything like our system (which I know it's probably not, but at least a teeny bit close) then you have to do something really forgeted up for congress to kick out the president.

It's not like your system. It's not equivalent to impeachment.
