Treason against Canada

[Hopperbin]

Nothing wrong with contacting the Queen if concerned about the government of Canada. The GG and the Queen will be consulting each other as we speak.

From Wikipedia

The Governor General of Canada (French [feminine]: Gouverneure générale du Canada, or [masculine]: Gouverneur général du Canada) is the vice-regal representative in Canada of the Queen of Canada, who is the head of state. Canada is one of sixteen Commonwealth realms, all of which share the same person as their respective sovereign. The monarch appoints the Governor General on the advice of the Canadian Prime Minister, after which the Governor General maintains direct contact with the monarch.[1] There is no specific term. As with other appointments, the incumbent is said to serve at Her Majesty's pleasure, but by convention usually serves for approximately five years. Also by convention, the position tends to alternate between the anglophone and francophone communities.

The current constitution of the office of Governor General is laid out in letters patent of George VI issued in 1947. By the Constitution Act, 1982, any constitutional amendment that affects the Crown, including the Office of Governor General, requires the unanimous consent of the provincial legislatures as well as the federal parliament. The 1904 Militia Act granted the Governor General permission to use the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Canadian military, in the name of the sovereign.[2]

Michaëlle Jean, the current Governor General, has served since September 27, 2005; then Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin recommended her to replace Adrienne Clarkson.[3] Jean's husband, the vice-regal consort, is Jean-Daniel Lafond.[4]

hello, am from québec i learn a lot from your threads so keep writing

Funny how 62% voted for something other than the cwb but the minority is keeping most of us in it. It only serves you board supporters at your leisure.

If none of you slow people get it - IT MEANS BE CONSISTENT WITH YOUR THOUGHTS.

Harper proved one thing - and that is the opposition are lazy bastards living off the government/people's money. Much the same as the leeches at the cwb.

The opposition will throw billions around and accomplish nothing. Send lumber where? Sell cars where?

Carefull folks you're starting to foam at the mouth. Have a drink, relax. If the Americans can elect Obama then you can live with a coalition for a few months. In any case governing during an economic crisis usually results in the party losing power in the next election. Harper's just trying to do it early. So who would you like to see take the fall? Dion and the Liberals or Harper and the Conservatives? Perhaps your next leader should read the minority government playbook more carefully should he or she find themselves in another minority parliament.

Hello, dolin, and glad you tune in, you will fully understand the significance of having Western grain flow eastwards.

In excess of one million bushels of wheat is carried through the canal.

The two-way nature of movement, i.e. graindownbound, iron ore upbound, is significant to the economy of the Great Lakes region, and indeed of the entire continent through the St. Lawrence.

For example, the Welland Canal, a vital artery, generates an economic impact of $222 million/yr in the Niagara Region and the biggest employer.

Trucking straight south to the US would cause economic kiniptions, wouldn't it? Pars

let's not get too excited. how long do you expect this coalition to last and what do you think it can accomplish? dion is not a charismatic leader and i don't expect duceppe and layton to get along for any length of time. if it means the conservatives get rid of harper and find a leader with more voter appeal it could work out to mean the end of the liberals for a long time. having a separatist party as part of the coalition is galling but it will be their undoing and, by the way, didn't mulroney pull in as much of the quebec nationalist vote as he could?
