I heard today on the international news that the entire Canadian Parliment resigned.

So what happens now?  How does your government function over the next month or so it will take to round up a new parliment?

Do they have to go through the same processes as the US congress.....security checks, financial examinations etc?

I don't think I have ever heard of an entire parliment quitting before....have I just not paid attention?  Is this politics normal or is it a problem?

What will it do to your stock market?

I am simply fascinated.... 008.GIF

Oh...by the way..  I remember that
We had an entire "Parliment resigned" just few month ago in here too ...I forgat !  :doh: This happened because our Prime minister wanted to do " postal service  commercialization" but he received many dissenting opinion in
assembly so he decide to go with an entire
parliment resigned. He knew he will win for
next election and he did win big.  :rolleyes:

I just hope that our international shipping
will be little more reasonable !!!

Don't worry ladies - it's not that bad. Our present government was a minority government that had to depend on another party to prop it up. These two parties had a falling out and there was a non-confidence vote on Tuesday. The prime minister then had to go the the Governor General to announce that an election will have to be held - in January - for a new parliament. In the meantime - things will carry on the same except in election mode with each party promising us the moon.
Many Canadians are not exactly happy with this, especially an election in January. The general consensus is another minority governments, probably the same one, who will have to make nice again with the NDP to govern. Actually, a Liberal minority with the NDP usually gives us the best government so it's not that bad.   :P

Simply more promises promises promises all of which will be forgotten once they are elected!!! Our biggest problem is we really have no one person in any party who I feel can govern the country!!!! How they waste our hard earned dollars is unconscionable and then they have the nerve to try and tax us even further. As you can tell I am pretty cynical about the whole process as are many other Canadians
