		<description>Well, it means that we do have a way to get rid of a really incompetent Prime Minister. And it actually does work pretty well, usually.

As an update - the Governor General met with the Prime Minister for two hours yesterday morning, and then gave him permission to &quot;prorogue&quot; government until January. That&#039;s a fancy word that simply means this session of government is suspended until the government has a chance to pull together their budget. The coalition members re calling it a &quot;lock-out&quot;, which is rather immature, in my opinion. It will be interesting to see what the new year brings!</description>

		<description>I knew very little about the Canadian gov&#039;t, but sounds like it&#039;s not very practical. 
And you would probably make a great Prime Minister :)</description>

		<description>Thank you for posting this.  I was unaware of how the Canadian Govt. system worked.  It seems that no matter where you are, politics is politics. Our elected officials are supposed to represent each one of us individuals, but it hardly feels that way.  I get very frustrated by American government and politics as well.
