Canadian politicians renew calls for House Speaker Fergus to resign

The Conservatives and Bloc Québécois are calling for House of Commons Speaker Greg Fergus to resign.

He was elected as a Liberal MP, but is supposed to be neutral in his current role. The resignation calls mean Fergus could soon face his second non-confidence vote, despite being on the job for just seven months.

David Akin explains what Fergus is being accused of and how the Liberals and NDP are reacting.

Why is the speaker allowed to have any political affiliation? Shouldn’t he be like a judge, impartial ?

[WSDfirstoffence]

YES!! He mutes the mic, he edits transcripts, and is completely partisan to the liberals. This "man" should be removed from politics!

[alexiapucci]

There is no room for a bias Liberal speaker, Canadian democracy is already on a decline from this Liberal/NDP gov.

[rrufvvw]

The NDP makes me sick that they keep these ppl in charge

[mike-wepb]

Greg Fergus needs to step down, but having integrity is not a Liberal trait.

[joehello]

The speaker of the house being a liberal mp is a laughably flagrant conflict of interest even a child could identify. Why is the Canadian political system such a joke?

[thebroketraveller]

First speaker in history to eject an opposition leader, if that doesn’t scream modern Liberal bias in Canadian politics once again, I have no clue what does

[xodox]

Scandal after scandal! Just like Trudeau!

[arnoldschmidt]

My question is; Even if Furgus is removed, who is competent enough to replace him.?
How about Jodie Wilson Reabould?She would be the most qualified person I can think of.

A puppet on a string who thinks he's

Speakers job IS TO BE IMPARTIAL! Fergus has demonstrated that it is impossible for him to do so.
Speaker is the face of Parliament and Fergus is reflecting on the Liberals in a very negative way. Shame on him and the Liberal/ndp. There has been 4 times of extreme partisan behaviour and 2 of contempt of parliament. We have a dictatorship forming.

[arsmaster]

Makes the entire system even more farcical. End the drama class and get to work.

[cuongdo]

a Dark time of Canada good luck my fellows Canadians.

[joedeschamps]

A house speaker who is also a Liberal MP?
What a joke.

[maryhill]

The NDP complain but, as usual, continue to support the Liberals.

[janerichards]

I hope most Canadians understand how serious this situation is. Fergus is not capable of doing his job. He’s become arrogant enough to risk speaking for the Liberals yet again. Too many mistakes by this man. He works for JT.

[JTDPM]

Freeland just called Pierre a phone through and through and Fergus didn't even comment. How is that different than using the term whacko?

[WalkiTalki]

And those are just examples of partiality. What about his manipulation of the blues? That is actual criminality. The longer he is permitted to skirt the rules the more aggresive he will become at doing so.

[R_Mcfadden]

Sorry, Sorry, Sorry, Sorry, Sorry, Sorry, Sorry say’s every Liberal. 🤡

[cptkirkp]

Lets keep talking about it and do nothing - that will stress people out. THE AGENDA
