    I don't know haw many Americans follow what happens to the north, but @Julia Curtis and others may be affected. In a parliamentary system, a vote of No Confidence can be called in order to depose a Prime Minister and force the formation of a new coalition. That has now happened in Canada as things there are deteriorating under Trudeau at a faster rate than under Biden-Harris. Here is the speech calling for a No Confidence vote in Canada.

    With the resignation of the Finance Minister and the call by Trudeau's coalition partner Mr. Singh for Trudeau to step down seems to indicate either a new coalition will be formed, or, if not, snap elections will be held in Canada.

    Here is the Opposition Leader's speech. Does he sound a bit like Trump?

    Singh wants Trudeau to step down instead of an early election so he can get his hefty pension. Their corruption is as bad as ours was under Biden. Trudeau was one of the WEF's golden boys.

    Perhaps, but many Liberal MPs are now calling for Trudeau to step down. Singh just has the power to bring the government down. Freeland's resignation has shocked Trudeau as she has been a loyal supporter of Justin even when he has done stupid stuff. She apparently discovered that Trudeau was maneuvering to hang his government's failure on her. That led to her stepping away and perhaps running against Trudeau if she can pull the coalition together again. Parliamentary stuff is very confusing to us.

    Rand Paul is citing Trudeau as an example of something we need to curb before it happens here. Mainly so many "emergency powers" allowed the Executive with Congress abdicating/failing to carry out its Constitutional role and the current legal headwinds to stopping unchecked "emergencies."

    Yeah, Congress has abdicated so many of their Constitutional powers to the Executive Branch that it has become unmanageable. Even the budget process, Congress' most powerful weapon, has been pretty much done away with since the 1990s
