It's much harder to bring down a sitting U.S. president than a Canadian PM. How many US Presidents were removed from office compared to how many Canadian Prime Ministers? Andrew Jackson and Bill Clinton were acquitted, and Richard Nixon resigned before any impeachment proceedings. I am not aware of any Canadian Prime Minster being removed from office, or even getting that close. Certainly minority term Prime Ministers have been removed by losing a vote of confidence, but that is our normal democratic process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and no. Absolutely the political systems are quite different, as is accountability in them, but if you look at the votes there was certainly a strong partisan factor to consider. If the same held true in a majority government in Canada, it might be difficult to remove a Prime Minister in similar circumstances. I wouldn't say one system is easier than the other, or better (more accountable) than the other, they are different and that difference will be affected by many factors.

Argus Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) 13 hours ago, OftenWrong said: Trump's lies are only white lies, so not that bad. I don't find it terribly interesting that Trump makes a few statements to get people's heads spinning around. Do you know anything about the Republican Party's efforts over the past several years, all across the US to make it harder for the poor and minorities to vote? All of them are defended by their claims of voter fraud as justification for implementing voter ID laws which would disproportionately affect the poor. They are designed to keep as many low income and visible minority citizens as possible away from the voting booths. As a guy who had to be repeatedly sued by the government because he didn't want to rent to blacks, and whose employees says they had to hide black people away whenever he visited, this would be something Trump would be helping support by his statements about huge voter fraud taking place. It would help justify further efforts. So far some of those efforts have been beaten back by the supreme court, but I'm guessing whoever Trump appoints to the SC is not going to be any more of a fan of minority voting than Trump is. So yes, it is important. Edited January 25, 2017 by Argus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkman Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Oh, you mean making it harder for undocumented illegals in the country without permission. Yeah you're right, they should be allowed to vote anyway if they're poor or a minority. All day every day and twice on Sundays.

Given that you've dragged from other threads specifically to misrepresent what I've posted and attack me, I'd say you are the one who finds the truth too painful to face. Anyway, Trump is implementing your wet dream on his immigration policy. Perhaps its time you stopped being a hypocrite and admit just how much you and he have in common - misrepresenting facts and targetting innocent people due to irrational and unfounded fears.

President Trump is just getting going, and I like what I have seen and heard so far. Would you prefer no media instead? Or perhaps media controlled by the leader?

I can see the Trump administration is handling the MSM(and his political enemies) like the Pied Piper. They're going for the shiny bauble in one hand, and missing a lot of what he's signing with the other. Classic misdirection, and their hysterical outrage is damaging their own efforts. Plus his manipulation is accomplishing some other goals with regards to the media and crying wolf every day. Cyber look! Inauguration crowds!

It is this fake and phony liberal media that keeps the constant bull and lies about Trump going. The Canadian liberal media despise him.

Well, this is the US politics section of a political website. We are here to express our opinions about such things. It will take years to know whether Trump succeeds or not, obviously. Can he get that 4% annual growth that washes away all sins? No idea. What is clear is that he has just started off at a sprightly pace but a grueling marathon awaits. I heard some expert say we are now running a trade deficit with the US which is good news in the Age of Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure that you can find plenty of interesting news stories to talk about that goes on in America besides Trump. Chicago would be a great place to start. Even Trump is concerned about Chicago and all the killings going on in that city. Trump has even said that if mayor Rahm Emanueal doesn't do something soon about crime Trump says that he will do something about it, and will send in the National guard if need be. How is that for a news story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
