The only logical course of event

Many Canadians are asking how to “impeach” our prime minister. In Canada, it is called “a vote of non-confidence”.

And, what is a vote of non-confidence?
I quote: “A confidence motion asks all members of parliament to vote on whether or not they have confidence in the incumbent Prime Minister and their party.

If the Prime Minister wins a majority of the votes in the confidence motion, he or she continues to govern. If he or she loses the vote (which is called a vote of no confidence) the Prime Minister must resign, forcing the governing party out of power.

What Triggers a Confidence Motion?

There are a few ways that a vote of no confidence can arise: through one of the opposition parties explicitly stating that the House has lost confidence in the incumbent government; through a question posed by the governing party; or, through the opposing parties’ rejection of an important piece of legislature, such as the budget or the Speech From the Throne (which establishes the government’s plan for the parliamentary session). “

What Happens if the Prime Minister is Defeated?

Once the incumbents are defeated in a confidence motion, the Governor General decides what happens next. The GG will either invite the opposition parties in the House of Commons to try to form a government (by creating a formal coalition or by having parties make agreements to vote together in the House), or dissolve Parliament and call an election.

Feel free to politely demand a vote of non-confidence to your MPs from the opposition.
