    Is anyone else concerned that the Trudeau Liberals continue to prevent government business from proceeding through their avoidance of their legal responsibilities? The House of Commons has been paralyzed by their…obstinacy(?) since it returned from summer recess in September.

     Pretty soon we the people might have to make a point somehow but it’s no longer clear what constitutes acceptable protest.

    you can't have a vote of no confidence if you don't bring up anything that needs to be voted on.  What a strategy.. sigh.

    They’re reporting today that the current stalemate could actually be interpreted as non-confidence in the government under parliamentary rules, so this tactic may backfire on the Liberals, though as we saw in the needless 2021 election it would end all the investigations into possible Liberal misdeeds (like the “Green slush fund” causing the current deadlock).

    ”Open and transparent by default” my ass, lol.

    Interesting?  How does that work?  Governor General makes a call and prorogues government for an election?
