Unfortunately there are a significant number of Canadians, perhaps even Members of Parliment, who do not understand the structure of the Canadian democratic system.
The media must also share some blame, as much as it pains me to say that. I have heard far too many references to this as a constitutional crisis. There is no constiutional crisis here, it is very simple: Harper must face a vote of confidence in the House. If he does not have the confidence, then the Governor General can ask the opposition to form a government or call an election.
Clearly we need parlimentary reform to either remove the powers of the Governor General or solidfy them. Not to mention an educational system at the secondary school level that actually educates our future electorate on the subject.

Thank you.
All I’ve been able to get out all day is: “But…They don’t….That’s not how it works!”

Comments on: It’s ok to be opinionated. Just don’t be misinformed.
