Toronto Sun: Lorne Gunter explains how the Trudeau government talks a big game about Canada’s military, and being part of an international alliance, but comes up short when it comes to supplying our armed forces with the equipment they need. WATCH

  1. Those other balloons at 40,000 feet were our interim stop gap between CF-18’s & the F-35’s that we Ordered, Cancelled, & just Re-ordered.

    They were equipped with Empty Beer bottles, A hot pot, & Poutine.

  2. Judge Roy Bean: Trudeau is not elected Prime Minister. He is elected the MP for his riding (district) and is the head of his party. Party leaders are elected by party members, not the electorate. His party formed a coalition government with the NDP (the party that came in fourth).

    The liberals cleaned up in Ontario, much as Democrats clean up in New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago. That’s why I say Trudeau is Canada’s argument for the Electoral College — without which the US would never see a Republican President again.

  3. A comparison could be made that Nancy Pelosi would have been the PM of the US if we had a parliamentary system.

    There is only one national election. There are no “mid term” elections. When elections come up, all seats in Parliament are up for election. There is no set time table, but elections have to be held at least every five years. One can be held sooner if the PM asks the Governor General (the King’s representative) to dissolve Parliament.

    The last election was on October 21, 2019, meaning that Trudeau does not have to face another election until October of next year if he doesn’t want to.

    As I said on another thread, he doesn’t care. He doesn’t have to. He could resign, but that is not very likely. If enough members of parliament voted for a no-confidence motion he could be in ousted. That would take for a significant number of Liberal and NDP (and block Quebecois) MP’s to go against him but, like Democrats in the US, they tend tend to vote in lock-step.
