ITT I ask HMS and other Canadian forum-goers to sound off on their government.

For those who don't know, the Canadian legislature just (and I mean JUST) passed a no confidence motion against the executive branch, effectively toppling the government. I'm not Canadian, so I don't know what all this truly entails. Hence why I'm making this topic. To try and grasp a further understanding of what this all means... not just from the media, but from the people who live there and have to deal with whatever comes because of this.

Well they were like, we have free health care. Who needs the gubment? Makes it easier to make the meth and grow the weed!

It means global maple syrup shortage.

We will also be recalling Celine Dion from her Las Vegas gigs to moderate this situation.

Will Terrance and Phillip be involved?

It means taxpayers have to pay for more campaigning. Politically it means nothing, because nothing happens in the Parliament anyway, and all our parties are basically the same.

Honestly reading that topic is why his name is in the title.
