Shut down parliament? To avoid being ousted? That seems like it would constitute him being forcibly removed. >_>

He didn't shut down parliament. That's not how it works.
He asked the Governor General, an appointed representative from the Queen of England, to shut down parliament and she did.
There's a big distinction.

Not like the Harper government. Well, he's in now. Maybe we can change him to be a better person since he's happy that he has a majority. Who knows, shit might get done.
Haha, who am I kidding? The last conservative majority in Canada was steeped in almost a decade of scandals.

Queen of Canada :hist101:
Re: Hey Canadians go vote thanks in advance
The Queen doesn't choose the Governor General, just making sure we all realize that.
Re: Hey Canadians go vote thanks in advance
The Prime Minister advises the Queen who to appoint as the Governor-General. The appointment is based solely on the advice of the PM and no other person.
