Sorry gang.

"So let me get this straight mike, because the queen isn't technicly a monarch of Canada, she (the queen) has to have a proxy in parliment, the governor general."
Sorry. No, the queen doesn't have any real power over Canadian, Indian, or Australian parliaments. There is no constitutional restrictions because there is no constitution at all. What they have only is traditional precedents.

"My understanding is that the GG acts on the queens behalf right? In other words, she doesn't set her own agenda, but carries out the queens agenda?"
No not that either. The monarch, AKA Crown, is the government of the day. But parliament has decided that they have no confidence in that governing party, so they are asking the Governor General to use powers of tradition alone to change the governing groups. Which by traditional powers, she could do just that. However, there is a moral aspect to this insanity that few are talking about. The majority of Canadians rejected the coalition parties individually. They are attempting a coup d'etate of sorts over this mess.

"So does this not make the Queen in violation of her own law, only thinky veild by a proxy?"
The queen has no part of Canada. We are a sovereign nation.

"As for the Bloc, even in a coolition with the NDP and the Liberals, it seems doubtfull the NDP or the Lib's are going to support any kind of seperation. and with Chiroc no longer running France, they pretty much lost any support they had from there anyway, which seemed to me, the chief insigator in the seperation movement.
Cripe, why don't you guys just do what we did a few hundred years ago, lol."
Now isn't this just stupid??? Can you understand now, why I am so insanely rabid about what I'm trying to do here? Makes yer freaking head swim don't it????

lol, yeh, the more I learn, the more I am astounded by my own ignorance (Eintein). So, let me ask this then, who's idea was it to even HAVE a GG then? Why did they not just give the PM the same authority? I must admit mike, I'm more confused now than I was before. You certainly have your work cut out for you, but it is good work you do and a good fight you fight. In the beginning of our own revolution, the revolutionaries were in a painfully minute minority.

In the days when Canada was a colony the same as the Pre-Revolutionary US, we were saddled with British Parliamentary politics. The GG was the monarch's rep in Canada and essentially did the same things as the ruling monarchs have done in England.

However, in 1921, Canada was a signator to the Treaty of Versailles after WWI.

That treaty was only to be signed by soveriegn nations. That was the instant that Canada became a soveriegn and distinct nation of it's own.

But in doing so, we as a nation were never given the benefit of a constitution and instead carried on with the traditions we were so accustomed to being screwed by for so long.

We advance token to 2001 and a collection of men sat down across a kitchen table in Nanaimo BC and discussed this issue at length. That collection of men was the founding of the party I lead.

Hahahahahahaha...

My friend xfactor tried to understand it above in #1. Take a look at his response and my response to his response after his response....Blblblblblblblblbl

Can you say a bit screwed up? Any wonder why we have had enough of this stupidity?

Glad I'm reading all of this since i'm just as ignorant as they are..things i thought are now not true..whewwwwww

Pat Buchanan (Gotta love him) once referred to Canada as Soviet Canuckistan. Is it possible he was right?

In response to a whole bunch of beer sponsored t-shirts that said "I Am Canadian" whish used the name of Molson Canadian beer, I had my own t-shirt made that said "I am Canuckistani". It was the real beginning of my seperatist adventure.

However, with my coming to this party, I found that Canada could be salvaged from break up if the things our party espouses are offered up to Canadians.

That however requires the dismantling of the current parliamentary system in its entirety. I'm up for it.

People just don't understand it when I refer to politics as being therapeutic.

You US educational system doesn't allow for any detailed study of systems beyond your own borders. And I don't know how it got that way but it is. I think that's part of the reason the US has had such an image problem world wide. The average American just doesn't know a whole lot about other countries.

Canada will not be getting a constitution without a real national unity crisis first. The problem being that our country exists by smoke and mirrors. There really isn't any foundation to it at all. That's why Russia has been able to successfully challenge our claims to sovereignty of the Arctic.

That is a postion chosen by and filled by the sitting Prime Minister of the day. It is an appointed postion and carries sybolic powers that are oddly enough being put to the test today. Nobody ever actually thought this day would ever come. Oooops!

The government exists by smoke and mirrors. The media live off of the largess of this system.

There is a very large, very linked dependency on the status quo.

I however am dedicated to rocking the boat, turning over the apple cart, throwing the baby out with the bath water, and a whole bunch more saying like this to infer that I am an agitator of mammal solid wastes.

Well parliament got a prorogue? They are on a break. The GG did the predicted thing and sent everyone home to cool off. Will it change anything? Boythat's going to be tough to say.

But you can rest assured that one thing is not going to happen. The children in the federal playpen are not going to have any adult supervision or control.

The people have no rights to control politicians anywhere in Canada.

The biggest hurdle the human race has.. is itself! (I.e. that ole human nature! Egads!!)

The Conservatives got the prorogue they were wanting. Now they get a breather into the new year. Then if the budget fails to pass, then it's election time again.

Our GG did what was least offensive for now. At the end of January she will face this again I suspect.

In the meantime Canadians will get to pressure their MPs to settle down. I wonder if they will?
