If Emergencies Act is voted down tonight in Canadian House of Commons Trudeau says he will dissolve the government and call yet another “snap election.” Exactly what a petty tyrant would do when denied absolute power by the government.
In September 2021 a snap election was held. Reuters described it as : “Trudeau wins another Minority government”
Yeah last I check “winning” 2nd place isn’t really winning. now trudeau wants to dissolve the government again and call a snap election. Gee I wonder if he will work to “fortify” the election.
THREAD
Canada's Parliament to vote today on Emergency Act: a first opportunity to end the emergency if MPs so wish. Trudeau says he'll regard vote as a confidence measure – meaning that if he loses, his government will resign and an election will be called.
