Unlike in the US, we very much CAN recall Hodgson.
Maybe i’m misunderstanding your comment, but Hodgson is a cabinet minister, not an ambassador. This is government policy, apparently!
Yes; we can recall elected officials with a vote of non confidence in their riding.
They’re recalled from cabinet to their riding, which then holds another election.
I’m down to vote NDP, but realistically if there is another vote it’s going to be PP, who will just do the same things but worse.
They’re not talking about forcing a general election. A recall vote just forces a new vote for that one seat.
They said, I’m not sure we have that federally. I think it’s just certain provinces.
I was aware of this mechanism existing in Alberta, but I’m pretty certain it doesn’t exist federally … ?
Pitter patter!
