HEY AMERICA – WE’RE YOUR BEST FRIEND & BIGGEST PARTNER . . .
Let’s Learn A Bit About Canadian Politics:
Trudeau Just Prorogued Parliament, which is a Fancy Way of Saying that Parliament is Fully Suspended for a Period of Time. In this Case, Parliament Will For All Practical Purposes Be Closed Until March 24, 2025.
In Effect, Because Parliament Is Prorogued . . . The Business of Running Canada will be Conducted Solely by Canada’s Bureaucrats. And Whatever was Going-On in Parliament at the Time When Parliament was Prorogued . . . Is Frozen In Time.
There Will Be No New Bills – Or Legislation Issued, and No Discussions or Debates on Existing Bills as Long as Parliament is Prorogued . . . and Whomever is the Prime Minister, in this Case it’s Still Trudeau, he Might as well Go on Another of his Long & Expensive Vacations Paid by the Canadian Taxpayer.
TRUDEAU IS AS LAME DUCK A LEADER . . . AS LAME DUCK GETS:
Unlike The United States Of America – There Are No Executive Orders.
When Parliament Resumes After March 24, 2025, the First Order of Business will be to Pass a Money Bill to Continue Funding Canada, which will Give the Opposition, of Which the Conservatives, NDP (Communists) & Bloc Quebecois (Quebec Separatists) Have all Promised to Overthrow the Liberal Government through a Non-Confidence Vote.
ONCE A NON-CONFIDENCE IS PASSED – IT DOES TWO THINGS:
1 – The Government Ceases To Exist.
2 – An Election Must Be Called, which Has to be Held No Sooner than 37-Days After the Writ (Call To Have An Election) is Released by the Independent Chief Election Officer . . . and No Later than 51-Days Afterwards, which Gives all Contenders (Parties) Time to Organize, Register, Raise Money & Campaign.
In Any Event . . . Once The Writ Is Dropped – Everyone In The Process Is Equal.
In May Of 2007, The Canadian Election Act was Changed to Force Federal Canadian Elections to be Held – On The Third Monday Of October . . . 4-Years Since The Previous Election, which Means in this Case, whether our Election is Held in April or May of this Year Because of a Non-Confidence Vote or Not . . . A Federal Election Must Be Held One Way Or The Other On Or Before October 20, 2025, Which Is 4-Years From The Last Election.
Unlike American Elections . . . Neither Unions Nor Businesses can Donate Money to any Party or Candidate. And Individuals who Donate Money to Parties or Candidates, are Restricted to Specific Amounts (Under A Few Thousand Dollars Total).
During A Campaign – Individuals & Special Interest Groups Cannot Gang their Money Together During a Federal Election as Special Interests to Run Ads (Etc) to Influence Voters.
What I Like Much More In Canada Than In The United States Of America – Are Our Voting Policies.
NO VOTES CAN BE COUNTED ONCE THE POLLS CLOSE:
All Voting Canadians Must Prove Canadian Citizenship, be Over the Age of Consent (18), be Registered to Vote with a Voter Card, Have Photo ID (Driver’s License) at the Ballot Place, Must Vote in Person, Must Vote by Hand, No Mail-In Voting Except for Special Cases (Military, Civil Servants Working Abroad – Etc), No Ballot Harvesting . . . And The Votes Must Be Counted With The Results Being Made Public Immediately After The Polls Close.
Also – Unlike The American System . . . There Is No Transition Time In Our Canadian Parliament.
The Moment The Votes Are Counted, and the Winner is Declared, the Party with the Majority of Ridings (Seats – Equivalent To American Districts) Immediately Becomes the Government, with the Leader of the Majority Party Declared Prime Minister of Canada, Who Will Be Free To Choose His Or Her Ministers (Cabinet) Without House Or Senate Approval.
Canada Has 343-Ridings – A Straight Majority Is 172-Seats. If a Party Wins Less than a Straight Majority . . . but Has Enough Ridings to Convince the Governor General that the Party Can Form a Minority Government – The Governor General Will Approve That Party To Form The Government.
That Said . . . If Enough Members of the Opposition Should Vote Non-Confidence at Any Time Against the Existing Government, with Enough Votes to Defeat the Government . . . The Governor General Will Immediately Dissolve Parliament & Call For A New Election – Which Will Be The Case (Soon) In Canada.
THE MOMENT TRUDEAU ANNOUNCED HIS PENDING RETIREMENT:
Anne & I Re-Registered As Members Of The Conservative Party. And when we Get Back to Canada in Early April, I will Volunteer to Do Whatever I Can to Help the Conservatives Get Elected as the Majority Party in Canada.
If Asked – I Will Walk the Streets Placing Lawn Signs, Putting-On Door Hangers, Handing-Out Literature in Busy Places like Shopping Areas, Go Door to Door to Speak with Would-Be Voters & Lick Stamps if that Would be Required of Me.
PIERRE POILIEVRE – PHONETICALLY PRONOUNCED . . . POLI-EV:
If (When) Pierre Poilievre Becomes Canada’s Majority Prime Minister . . . This will be Reason for all Canadians of Common Sense – and all Americans who Aren’t WOKE Jerks, to Celebrate What will Become the Greatest North American Union in North American History.
And If You Are Jewish Like Me . . . Or Support The Rights Of The Jewish People Everywhere – Or You’re An Israeli – Pierre Poilievre has Declared His Unconditional Love, Respect & Defense of the Jewish People Worldwide, And His Oft-Repeated Total Commitment To The State Of Israel.
IN A VERY RECENT INTERVIEW . . . POILIEVRE SAID THIS:
To Paraphrase . . . I Am Not A Conservative – Who Will Campaign On Conservative Values Only To Change Some Of My Conservative Promises To Placate Social Liberals. I Will Be Conservative Through & Through During My Total Mandate.
Through Poilievre . . . I See A Future For Canada That Could Not Have Been Imagined Just A Year Or So Ago. And When you Really Think About-It, if it Wasn’t for the Horrendous Governance of Biden & Trudeau, it is Very Possible that the LEFT might Have Been Able to Have Slow-Walked us Blindly Towards Become Communist States (The USA & Canada).
But Because of our Hair Breadth Brush with the Termination of our Freedoms, We The People Woke-Up From The Nightmare That Could Have Become Our Reality.
I Guess We Owe The Two Bastards (Biden & Trudeau) . . . who Independently Brought us to the Abyss, for Making-Us Realize our Inevitable Demise . . . A Very Serious Thank You . . .
Because Of Them – If We Didn’t Change Warrior Leaders Before The Battle Was Done, People Like Me Would Be Behind Bars For Writing Our Opinions & The Truth.
I WATCHED TRUMP’S PRESS CONFERENCE TODAY:
Canada Does Not Have To Lose Our Sovereignty To America, for Both of our Incredible Countries to Join in a Fabulous Financial & Military Union, Which I Foresee Over The Horizon.
In Spite Of The Worst The LEFT Has Thrown At Us – Trump Is Making It Good For Us To Be Alive.
Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

Good post.
Thanks for explaining. Much appreciated.
Both our country’s futures look a lot brighter today. I am happy for you & Anne as Canadians. Let’s hope Trudeau doesn’t spend his lame duck time making more bad pay-outs, running the nation into bankruptcy. Basically Biden’s spending the money DOGE will be saving through down-sizing government and making what remains more efficient.
The US needs to adopt many of the Canadian election rules. Failing that; DOGE should end the obscene amount of money flooding our elections.
Just saw Mr Poilievre’s “apple eating” interview with a journalist. I was applauding & yelling YES Hooray! Seriously praying that good leadership for your country will finally emerge. USA & Canada friends again.
Thanks explaining the Canadian system —— much appreciated. Our future is looking brighter ——- everyday.
Howard as always Right on the Mark. I’ll fly the American flag along with the Canadian and Ontario Flags. PIERRE POILIEVRE will be working with Donald Trump just like the two stooges Trudope and Biden. I can not wait to vote so the Right Wing can take back our countries.
let Canada and the USA join together in economic and monetary unity. After trudeau shut down our resource sector we need to open it up for the benefit of Canadians and Americans. Canada, big land mass and small population, I feel we should become the continent of the future.
Thanks for the civics lesson. My friend in Alberta supports Mr. Poilievre too. I do question the restrictions on political speech spending. Does that mean it is mainly up to the government controlled media to distribute information? I do like the shorter campaign periods and the ID requirements to vote. Good luck on the election!
Greenland yes! Canada no way. We have four downs in football; they have three. How is that going to work out? Can you imagine Tim Hortons merging with Dunkin Donuts (I still cannot drop the Donuts from the name). Canadian synagogues will have to be renamed Temples. And so many more inconceivable differences in the cultures. And there is no way that I am not getting my 40% discount on everything when I cross that border. Did you notice, how few Canadians were in Miami this Christmas/ Chanukah?
The British gave up on free trade with the EEG .I think if Free Trade does not work for Canada anymore with the US we should also go our own way. Let it be trade for a trade and tariff for a tarriff. Canada can with Poilievre become the Switzerland of North America. We have every thing the Swiss don,t have. Long live Canada.Bill Cooper, Ottawa.
Trudeau like Biden has made Canada a laughing stock. How can one person Stop the Government from operating. This is Crazy. Biden is trying to throw as much BS in Trumps way so they hope he will fail to meet the promises he made to regular folks. Biden is not doing all this he has a whole load of Lib garbage folks to do his thinking for him. Trump will succeed in spite of them, long live DJT and the US. Biden and ILK will fade into the pile of Sh..t they are, soon most will burn in Hell.
Amendments: Trudeau stole two years, 4+4+2 he’s been P.M. since 2015. Voters don’t need to be Canadian Citizens, Trudeau allows foreign students to vote. The lame duck is still P.M. and many think he will/can play this out until October, doing a lot more damage to Canada in the meantime, he is said to be the negotiator with America on Tarrifs. I hope I’m wrong but…… Research Mark Carney, possible connections and contender for liberal leader.
I just finished chiming in at another site in which I said similar things: Canada doesn’t want nor does it need to be swallowed up as another state of the USA. We should and will remain friends and supporters of each other, especially during Trump’s presidency and Poilievre’s election. Our countries will each be MADE GREAT AGAIN.
