So we pay the governor general for absolutely no reason at all. What a wonderful use of tax payer's money. Just like most of the government.

[TheRandomFires]

Putting political party needs ahead of Canada.

There's footage of him saying he wouldn't ever do this to avoid a confidence vote. He lied.

Tell the CRA that. They are enforcing changes that have not been approved by Parliament

i used to think manifesting was all about repeating affirmations and hoping for the best. i tried it for months and…nothing. i was so frustrated. then i heard about this book, Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and how it breaks down the science and energy behind manifestation. it’s like it flipped a switch in my brain. once i started applying what i learned, things started falling into place like never before. worth checking out if you’re serious about manifesting.

There doesn’t ‘need to be any time’ for the Liberal party to choose a new leader. That’s their problem! What the country needs is an election so that we can have a government with a mandate as we negotiate with Trump.

Prorogation in this instance is unconstitutional, it is not what it was put in place for. This is unlawfuL.

[bienvenida]

Governor General should also resign!!!

So no government just in time for trump tariffs, what could possibly go wrong?

[NoGattsuNoGlory]

So the governor general is in on it.... She should have been non biased...this is worst for the country

[RubyVideoFan]

Is this prorogation illegal? The GG should just dissolve parliament.

[alphafitter]

Trudeau just put the nail in the coffin on Canada.. we need an election now to show stability and strength

[JayDubbya]

This GG is a joke. Why don’t you go and spend $117, 000 on dry cleaning again?!

[gerganatzoneva]

And now - the question of everybody's mind: WHY IN GOD'S NAME do we need this insanely expensive Governor General?!! If she/he always agrees with the prime minister's recommendations, what is the POINT???!!!!

[impactfully]

Everyone and Everything before Canadians. I hope we don't forget this when the time comes to vote.

[chrisrutledge]

At least a group of dismal legislative bills fully disappear - more than we can say for Trudeau.

[johnmolnar]

If the GJ cannot refuse, and has to accept, what is the purpose of the position? Our Government policies need to be re worked in a big way .

[vindictivepigeon]

Anyone who sees this would you support a government that puts tighter restriction on prorogation or its removal entirely?

[eddobond]

Wages shouldn't be paid to parliament members during the prorogation !

[djsmith]

Why does the public have to endure this "mental health day" so a political party can get its affairs in order?

Let Canadians decide if they
need a timeout and for how long. I'm guessing the Liberals would have PLENTY of time to get their proverbial 💩 together after an election.
