Queen Closes Canada's Parliament


Most Canadian’s do not know who shut down Parliament.



Here is an interesting fact same person who interfered with democracy shutting down parliament.



“On occasion the monarch must personally act directly in partisan affairs. For example, this occurred when Queen Elizabeth II directed, on the advice of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, that the number of Senate seats be increased to assure passage of the GST. “



The Queen intervened to assure us we would all be taxed on every single purchase we make as consumers. This makes you wonder why she is our head of state.



It’s an important issue, especially considering that Harper is benefiting by calling an election on his terms using the power of the Governor-General who is the Queen’s representative

Liberal Senators have vowed to kill the Conservative government's bill to establish a goods and services tax. But they are caught off-guard when Prime Minister Brian Mulroney uses an obscure power to make eight appointments, creating an instant Conservative majority in the Senate.



The unprecedented move, made with the consent of the Queen, has the Opposition fuming with outrage. But Mulroney is defiant. He accuses the Liberal senators of trying to subvert democracy.

Mulroney stacks Senate to pass the GST

Faced with a Liberal-dominated Senate refusing to pass the goods and services tax, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney invoked Section 26 of the 1867 Constitution Act.

The section allows for the addition of four or eight Senate seats upon the direction of the Queen.

Mulroney's appointments brought the total number of senators to 112, up from 104.

Before the move, there were 52 Liberals, 46 Tories, one Reform party member and five independents.

The appointments gave the Tories an instant majority with 54 Senators.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has shut down parliament, sparing himself from a no-confidence vote that he was going to lose.

The move comes after Harper met for two hours Thursday with Governor General Michaelle Jean, who agreed to Harper's request to suspend parliament until he can present a budget late next month.

The unprecedented step comes less than two months after Harper's re-election.

The governor general, in a mostly ceremonial post, is the representative of Britain's Queen Elizabeth, who is Canada's head of state. Jean had to decide whether to suspend parliament or allow Mr. Harper to face the no-confidence vote on Monday.
