Is sellout Singh serious or a stuntman? Say, these “S” starting sentences are seriously shorting my subconscious….
PP comes up with witticisms like “sell out Singh” but then goes on to overplay them.
Wacko is another one.
He ought to elevate the rhetoric and thereby sound more like an adult statesman instead of a schoolyard scold.
I have tired of government by tweets.
I have tired of government by idiots.
Agreed, but he might be doing it for the sake of the retarded half of the population.
I have the same criticisms. It’s one thing to use them in an ad spot, but answer questions at a press conference like a normal person.
I watched a bit, but it was parles vous stuff…
I want to hear what the puppy-kickin, sock-filling, Coward of the Cottage has to lisp about-
“I’m tho thorry Jagmeet feeth thith way…”
Yeah, IDGAF what Goperfuhrer has to say unless he’s announcing that he won a free rocket trip to Uranus.
The way I see it, the Libs are so low in the polls, Jagmeet doesn’t want to see the NDP dragged down with them. Also he’s thinking that if the NDP distances themselves from the Libs and attacks them, they just might be able to replace the Libs as official opposition in the coming election and eventually, when the Cons become unpopular, form the next government, with the Libs a distant also-ran.
Your observation is accurate. And this is why I hate this stupid country. F**king clown show.
I think the Conservatives should have a real plan for when the #Librano / “independent” senators vote against the bills passed by the MP’s.
I think the west, AB/Sask. should have a real plan for when the #Libranos (2x hating the west and with a vengeance) are re-elected in 4-8 years with a majority from the eastern intergenerational welfare dependents.
The Senators are poseurs compared to the Federal Bureaucracy – they’re fckn traitors.
I find the role of Canada’s senate confusing.
For instance, if the Conservatives decide to radically cut the size of government by laying off staff…does that require senate approval? I assume it doesn’t because if Trudeau can increase the federal Department of Sitting on your Ass at Home by 40% then the CPC should be able to cut that department without the Senate. Ditto for reducing staffing levels and budgets of other existing programs and departments.
The CPC should also be able to modify existing programs without Senate approval as long as it doesn’t increase spending. Trudeau seems to change regulations and protocols of existing programs frequently. Like “pausing” the carbon tax for Atlantic provinces.
I’m not sure. I looked it up but the answers were clear as mud. Perhaps someone here knows.
Governments in recent years have governed through regulation rather than legislation. Steven Guibeault has brought in his radical agenda through regulation. Nothing is in legislation.
Thanks. That is what I was seeing too. If true, the CPC may also be able to bypass the Senate to bring in it’s agenda through regulation instead of legislation. Particularly cuts to government spending.
Smitherenzes is right. Much of the actual activity of government is done by Orders in Council. But it’s not just recent years. Governments have routinely operated most of government actiivity by such Orders. For example, there’s no legislation demanding specific levels of government support for a spending program like the CBC. There was no legislation demanding specific spending levels for a crown corporation like Eldorado or AECL.
You can simply hack its funding down to zero and let it collapse or be taken over.
Thanks, cgh
A bureaucrat’s wet dream is an Act that provides “the Minister may make regulations” and then defines subordinates who are deemed to have Ministerial powers therefore.
Only need parliament (which includes senate) for legislative changes. As long as no new or revisions to acts, no need to go to parliament. So there is flexibility in managing the administration of the government.
In terms of legislation, the senate needs to approve. Traditionally they may study and propose amendments (legit or for delay) and the commons can accept or reject and the senate usually, but not always, goes along with the commons. In the end the senate can block but if a government has a clear mandate (1988 free trade election), it would be abnormal to block the will of the people.
Yes, the senate is a problem and the fallout from 2015 vacancies will continue to be felt.
Thanks. I expect that the CPC government will run into problems with the Liberal stacked Senate and Supreme Court but good to know there’s leeway for them to control existing program management.
Sellout Singh.. Is golden, because its true.. He played Kingmaker on our backs to elevate his own status..
No other way to put it..
The Libs still need to fall on a money bill; will a no-confidence motion pass and will it be accepted?
It doesn’t have to be a money bill to fall. Any passing non-confidence in the government motion will bring the government down.
Meh. Nothing’s changed. Singh will keep supporting the libs, except vote by vote now instead of blanket and the libs will be at even more pains to satisfy him. It’s all Ottawa smoke and mirrors. There won’t be an election before October 2025
February 2025 will be the likely fall of the government, since Singh gets his pension then
When is Singh’s pension date due? He will do nothing to cause the government to fall before then. So, depending on parliamentary procedures and customs, that may be several weeks after he actually causes the GG to terminate Parliament.
So, this is more a Singh manouveur to keep his Dippers on board than a real urge to end the government.
He was elected 25th February, 2019, so don’t expect him to make any move towards bring down the government until 26th Febuary, 2025.
The curry eater along with the poutine eater will work together to keep the tofu eater in power, preventing the beef eater from taking over…keep eating knock off Kraft diner and chicken hotdogs in the meantime…no election ‘till oct 25 or the collapse of Canad’uh, whichever comes first.
I do not for one minute believe that “Sell out Singh” will take down the liberals they’ve been glued to for years. Bluster and drivel to pander to the progressivessssssss.
Singh will only vote against the government when the Bloc will maintain them, giving him a talking point from the safety of his superannuated (not yet) perch.
Funny, I just talked to my Conservative MP yesterday. He was sure the election is at least a year away.
Not that it would make any difference anyway. He still believes that carbon dioxide is the main cause of ‘climate change’, and would not commit to supporting our oil& gas sector.
He also agrees that the national debt is unsustainable and cannot ever be paid down.
This is why there is such strong push for war. The choice is seen as war or default on the debt.
Yet, here they are offering ‘freebies’ like dental care & lunch programs, daycare,etc. and sending billions that we don’t have to other countries for war that kills millions of innocents, destroys the environment far worse than your SUV ever will, and wastes tons of precious materials and energy.
Now, with the latest bylaw changes, they have extended their reach right into our local neighborhood. We no longer have a say even in how our own neighborhood is developed.
It’s time the west stops listening to & supporting these fools. There is absolutely no benefit to the west by remaining in the current federal system.
Voting in a different federal party will change nothing of any substance. At best we might get a reduction in one tax, but with that we will still be at the whim of whatever central Canada wants, regardless of what we think about it.
During this election cycle, I encourage everyone to ask candidates about the Kings Privy Council. This is who really has the power & control of this country. None are elected. I am willing to bet that most people have never heard of it, and certainly can’t name a single member or what they really do.
If we are ever going to see real meaningful change, we have to start there. All of the rest of the parliamentary circus is just for show & to give the appearance of democracy.
PP wants to make it a non-confidence vote on the carbon tax. This was already tried and the Bloc was unanimous in rejecting it. Even if all the Dippers vote Yea for non-confidence, the Bloc will vote Nay and the Lieberals will just shrug and continue to destroy this country.
