I will post this for the benefit of the Canadians- Freddy Foreskin being Exhibit A- who spend all their time following Trump and are not up to speed on their own country.
Canada has a regularly scheduled election next year. But under a parliamentary system if there is a loss of support that leads to a lack of confidence vote, an election can be called earlier. Of late, Trudeau does not have a majority vote in parliament but a third party- the NDP- collaborates with Trudeau's Liberal Party to get him majority support.
Problem is, the NDP has just withdrawn their support. It's the last thing Trudeau wants because he is down, wayyy down, in the polls. He wanted to ride it out until the election scheduled next year, hoping he could change the picture by then.
That does not create an automatic no-confidence vote, but creates a scenario where is 100% predictable that one is coming very soon.
As I said the other day, the center of gravity in Canada is shifting from Ottawa and Montreal over to Calgary. Calgary is Trump country. You may recall my saying Trump may go up for a visit to "help out." Trudeau's primary opponent, the Opposition Leader in the Conservative party, hails from Calgary.
Freddy Foreskin and Rear-Ender/Nine Ender would be stressed if they knew this. Not to worry though. They are following what Liz Cheney had for breakfast.
