Probably not...so the first thing that would happen I would think, is one party tries to convince the other to work together. That could either be formal (coalition!) or maybe informally. See, lets' get floor crossers on board to see what we can do.
More concretely if a leader can't get the confidence of the House. Out he/she goes. And the GG is called into action. And maybe Canadians again...for another eleciton.
Note, if this happens, I'll need a lot more coffee.
Well, b bellows, do you mean...if the leader loses??? I'd say Mr.Harper. If he loses..outright, I can't imagine why he would want to stick around.
That said, if he forms a minority government, I think he'd stick around a bit at least to let the party organize leadership etc.
I think Mulcair and Trudeau can hang around if they lose, but who knows.
He's the PM. But he'd still have to win the confidence of the House. He could delay recalling Parliament. But not forever.
That's the short, I'm no constitutional expert version of that answer!
Remember a lot of this election actually happen in the SUMMER! So tout le monde en parle was not on the air at the time. It's back on air as of Sunday. And I totally agree, I think it has broad appeal in Quebec and a massive audience. So, leaders can speak honestly and show personality. it's a good venue. I'd expect some to show up there soon.\
Candidates wouldn't have a LOT of input, but they would certainly be able to make their views heard. But every party works differently. And i would say that once you become an MP you at least have a platform to make views heard, but again, that is more or less welcome in some parties versus others.
Oh, Pablo, way to pick the easy questions
I think Mulcair and Trudeau generally will have be consistent in the Canadian position on Israel and the Middle East. That said, there have certainly been some more pro Palestinian voices inside the NDP in the past.
Oh dear! This is not good Rahul. It's not intentional. We did a panel on the youth vote the other day on PnP. But probably sometimes get caught up in the players on Parliament Hill.
I would say that since the last batch of MPs in 2011, there are younger people present on the Hill and that helps give us perspective. But I take your point! And shall mention it to the team!
hey ar. brady...good question! It's the one we were asking in the newsroom today. Short answer, we don't have hard numbers, but there is general agreement it is a very small number.
As for you Ken, I do think the Niqab issue resonates elsewhere in Canada. But not necessarily from one perspective or another. It's a question of what Canadians are comfortable with and how we view minority versus majority rights. Is it a ballot question? Probably not, but I do think people have strong views on both sides.
An issue? I honestly don't know. This election has constantly surprised by how an issue one week is totally gone by the next week. So, I'm not sure it's an issue, as opposed to a general feeling about what Canadians want.
It's really the same question as the first day when Peter Mansbridge stuck up his cue cards on camera.
And what that means to you.
I don't think it's enthusiasm. I think it's efficiency. WHO is good at getting their vote. And traditionally, that is something the Conservative party has been awfully good at it. So, they may not be super high in the polls, if they can get their WHOLE vote out...it might be enough.
Drew, we should never say knock out punch again. PLEASE!
I think the debate will primarily be for Quebec, but if you make a mistake or make a good point, we'll still talk about it in the rest of Canada.
So, it could be a turning point. But I've been waiting for this big turning point now for 54 days. WHEN Drew? When? HA1
Hi LD, well, I hope so! If I can have any opinion about anything...it's that democracy is good and I hope people vote. I do feel like people care and are listening and I feel that's been happening since the beginning even though people kept saying everyone was on holidays. Not what I saw. And as a political junkie, I for one, am pleased.
Surprising....it's all been surprising.
We thought the election would be about the economy and it is...but it's been about a whole bunch more too. I mean who could have predicted a refugee crisis on the other side of the world would become part of this campaign? But it did.
I think there are more surprises in store too.
Probably not...so the first thing that would happen I would think, is one party tries to convince the other to work together. That could either be formal (coalition!) or maybe informally. See, lets' get floor crossers on board to see what we can do.
