FALL SITTING 2026 @ THE PARLIAMENT

 What's happening with the CONSERVATIVE PARTY OF CANADA? Just recently, some Conservative Party members started quitting the Party and that also resulted for the resignation of the newly elected Party Leader Kerry Lynn Findlay. Wow! Controversial issue in politics.

What happened? Based from Wikipedia information, Ms. Findlay was actually smart intellectual woman with degrees in LAW & HISTORY. She's a lawyer. She was once the Queen Counsel, Minister of Defense and National Revenue Canada during the HARPER Administration. She's age 71 already. Is age a factor on what's going on? Whatever! AGE USUALLY IS A FACTOR IN THE GOVERNMENT THE PEOPLE WANT A REPRESENTATIVE WHO IS SMART & SHARP. Not somebody who sleeps at work. Not somebody who is not honest, one who can represent the majority of people who need help with the high cost of living, employment, housing, with immigration, and of course with health care. 

Maybe part of it is she is over qualified? Don't know for sure the reason behind the Conservative Party's plan and agenda. This kind of issue happened once in a blue moon.

It's the first Parliamentary Meeting today FALL 2026 Sitting  where all the Parliamentarians gather at the House of Commons OTTAWA for their tasks at hand. Of course there are debates as usual, question and answer and everything. Is there something new?  Addressing the high cost of living, counter tariffs, and building Canada Strong with BILL C-39, Federal Budget reviews and change in Labour Code.

THE PURSE STRING THEORY

Do you watch DWTS or Dancing With the Stars? The show last night had that special presentation of Disneyland's characters and the dancers have to wear costumes of their favorite fairy tale characters. Looks like some of the dancers had upgraded their skills in dancing and dance moves. However Len Goodman had problem seeing the movements of the dancers' legs ( Hanna Brown and her dance partner) because their dance sequence was covered with cloud-like effect. Hanna and her partner had chosen the Aladdin theme sitting on make-believe flying carpet. FLYING CARPET and clouds are supposedly visible. You know Len Goodman always are so keen observant on the movements of legs as if he is a judge for the Olympic Games. lol. He should judge Olympic figure skaters/dancers. LEGS! LEGS! LEGS.

Legs. Legislature!

What the LEGISLATURE wants?

POWER OF THE PURSE!

The power of the PURSE that opens the PARLIAMENT.

STRING THEORY.

Do you have the power of the purse and the string theory?

Change Your Mind Miss Ambrose

What's going on at the Canadian Parliament? Why Ms. Rona Ambrose quit her job as a member of the Parliament (Conservative Party). Quit or quitting? Don't tell me there's no more challenges and she's bored about politics. Mr. McKay once the Defence Minister under Conservative Party also resigned from his job after the former PM Harper decided not to run for office and after defeat in the last Election against PM Justin Trudeau.

Could it be that the longest government service at the Parliament should be less than 10 years at least. Only Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King lasted for 20 years working as Prime Minister which is the longest term serving Canada and  Canadians. Twenty years in office! He was a lawyer and his reign in office was during or at the time of war which was the "complicated years."

The shortest serving done by Prime Ministers of Canada was in Canada under PM Kim Campbell and PM John Turner. Why, you may ask. Could it be that they are lawyers and curiosity got in the way that serving at the Parliament are not their cup of tea? They make more money being lawyers that's for sure.

I first thought with Ms. Rona Ambrose being at the Conservative will land her career as the next female Prime Minister of Canada. She's got the looks, integrity, merit and so many experiences in public office and she's a great orator. She can talk. She can explain herself properly, she's smart and she's got personality. What she will do next? She is still young and able. Canada needs someone like her in politics especially at the Parliament. PM Justin Trudeau needs an opposition, tough and brave as she is she should stay being Conservative and WORK for the good of Government.

Parliamentary

How many times the Conservative Party of the Prime Minister Stephen Harper has changed and re-shuffled in the past. So many times already. The first time was when the Minister of Defence Peter Mckay's vision was very sharp like  an eagle.

Why all the re-shuffle? Few ministers have resigned or retired? Many got tired of the slow-moving phase that's happening within the government?

So many red tape?

What could be?

To better familiarize each member of the Cabinet to appreciate, demonstrate and make use of their skills to the tasks at hand.

What each member of the Cabinet will bring in to unite, strengthen and make use of the funds, raise more funds, make themselves fully utilized their God-given talents and potentials so that they can uplift the political and economic ability and capability of good government. How they can better serve the country and its people.

Give them the key questions of  WHY they have to serve the country and the people of Canada? They should know the answer even before they are officially elected, appointed and well every educated individuals whether they used to serve the government knew what their tasks are the more they have to know their power and responsibility once they have that GO signal to conduct business in the name of  the POWERS that be whom they take allegiance with.

CANADA is a parliamentary government. Therefore the Head of State is none other than Her Majesty, QUEEN ELIZABETH II. Government officials abide by the rules of conduct and secrecy under the Queen of England.

So be it.

In the Name Of the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit  +

Amen.

Your Roof's On The Wall

Are we watching the same old story? Are you watching the same old debate from previous debate before by these group of politicians? Probably nobody even recognized the same "background" of having the orange or tangerine roof surrounding the candidates. Roof? Wall? Whatever you may call it.

I kind of think that some voters they don't really pay attention much to the politicking of their high officials or politicians who represent them in the Parliament.

To think about those debates, public forums and parliamentary practice of any government officials may cost you lots of money. So that's maybe the "debate" is somewhat a replay. Or just simply a RIP. Or maybe my television broadcast is from Lalaland. He he he.

Young students and young voters were asked about their opinions on this matter because it is their "SAY" or OPINION that matters this time. Although of course old people knew their tactic already.

READ PARLIAMENTARY Practice and its rule and laws: Every time, time and time again they are always looking for a political group with the biggest purse otherwise nothing gets approved. A group may have minorities but if they have the biggest purse and capital to attain the goal of the parliament then it may continue to proceed or what else could happen? Me or you working again without pay because everything would be voluntary?

How you can pay the mortgages? How you can send the children to school? To University? Without wages or salary, you don't get benefits like CPP (pension and other benefits). Probably you get to have free food from the Food Bank but are they good? That's kind of low life and it should not be the last resort for there is NO WAR in Canada. Is there?

Yesterday as I watched the movie "The Time Keeper" wherein the young timekeeper who arrived in the camp unknowingly what he will be up to in the next few days of his stay in the camp. What happened is a bout of surprises, fight for wages, and food. The work that they have to finish is the backbreaking work of building a railway for the trains to pass through in the wilds or out of nowhere. The only way out is the boat and sea plane. Turned out everything is controlled by either the bull cook or the guy who leads them with an iron fist, a gun, and a dog. Anyway the end of the story is something you have to watch. Poor young man who is such a neophyte when it comes to the old man's vast experience about the job they have to undergo and finish -ed.

Lesson: Don't lose your head by gambling for there are too many prophets of doom and too many scams and liars nowadays. Be very careful.

PRINCIPLE OF PARLIAMENT

Important Principles of the Parliament:

1. Power of the system is unified. The Legislative, Executive and Judicial branches of government all operate within the Parliament.

2. Parliament is all powerful. The Cabinet within shapes policies. It makes laws all knowing it is the highest court. No higher authority to declare a law unconstitutional.

In 1889 Representatives of Parliament in 9 Countries met in Paris. The result of the meeting is better known as INTER PARLIAMENTARY UNION. They have one AIM: To unite and promote PEACE & HARMONY.

Four Countries who adopted Parliamentary form of government: Diet of Japan, India, Riksdag of Sweden, USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist republic -Russia).

Philippines tried Parliamentary form of government during Pres. Ferdinand E. Marcos regime , under Martial Law. It was a successful transition for if not the country would be underdeveloped until now. That's the essence and relevance of having a strong leader with an iron fist. That's how great leaders shaped and formed a strong nation united for progress.

While the United States remained member of Inter-Parliamentary Union or better known as IPU meets at the HQ of Geneva, Switzerland.

PARLIAMENTS - Legislative Bodies

IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT PARLIAMENTS

1. Patterned on British Government

2. UNWRITTEN customs and traditions essential part of the British Constitution

3. Difficult to understand because it is UNWRITTEN unlike US GOVERNMENT SYSTEM

4. PARLIAMENT is originally meant a TALK by which the KING discussed business with his advisers

5. In the Middle Ages several European countries have parliaments

6. First Modern Legislatures under King Edwards in 1295 in England

7. Because of several historical accidents the parliament developed and improved to become the strong one

8. Privy Council -advisers in England. When meeting gets complex more meetings are held and followed with important councilors (Cabinet)

9. Role of the CABINET became important and it becomes UNWRITTEN

10. Members of the Cabinet should sit in the Parliament

11. Modern parliament started in Britain in the 8th Century

12. German born King George I ruled Britain in 1714 to 1727 stopped attending the Cabinet meeting because he cannot understand English. (In our time some Cabinet members cannot understand French they stopped attending meetings)

13. Cabinet took over all the work and many of the powers of the King

14. Cabinet reported decisions to the King as a group rather than as individuals.

15. All Cabinet members had to agree on the decisions known as Cabinet Solidarity. Better known as LA SOLIDARIDAD

16. Any Cabinet members who disagree with the decision is expected to resign

17. House of Commons and House of Lords cannot come up with the decision because of bitter power struggles

18. House of Commons often showed its strength through the POWER OF THE PURSE

19. In the House of Commons refusing to approve new taxes could force rulers to change their policies or their councilors

20. Today- means the Cabinet must have the support of MAJORITY of THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, otherwise it gets NO MONEY and NONE OF ITS POLICIES WILL BE APPROVED!

21. House of Commons has became more powerful and the House of Lords has become less powerful in conducting the business of Parliaments


IF the House of Commons become powerful and the House of Lords become less powerful the only solution is to >> change the form of government. Abolish the parliament and have a "Presidential Election." That's what you call ABSOLUTE CHANGE!

Other option? ONE has to resign and change the LEADER. A great leader has the power and sense of PURPOSE, DIRECTION and most of all has the STRENGTH to CONTINUE his work as a LEADER. Distrust in his power to command leaves everyone in his party unable to move and not to follow the rules.

When Parliamentary Meetings and Policies are UNWRITTEN there's possibility of Graft and Corruption and the whole population are left with bewilderment and no choice but to keep on asking the key questions of WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY, and HOW. How you can proceed when the BUDGET is not there.

22. How parliament works? Parliament has 3 parts:
1. Chief of Staff - King or Queen
2. Upper Chamber - House of Lords
3. Lower Chamber- Judges and clerks

UPPER CHAMBER - Inherits the seats of the Lord or Nobles. It is also called the Senate and House of Commons.

LOWER HOUSE - passes the Law. Approved the Laws to make them official

UPPER HOUSE - examines and approved Power of the Cabinet .

CABINET is the most important part of the Parliament. But the CABINET must have the support of the Majority of the House of Commons.

At present time in Canada, the Cabinet doesn't have the support of the Majority in the Parliament because of this the government is in "recession."

They can all have their RECESS if they want to but make sure they pay their DUES.* 'Ya know what I mean.

Parliamentary Procedure

What is Parliamentary Procedure? Do you know? Have you been in a country that adopted the parliamentary form of government?

PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE
is a method by which meeting is held or run in a fair and orderly manner. The rules implemented and used by : Government officers and members, town officials, professionals and businessmen. Church organizations, Student council, Social group and other governing bodies who in one way or another seek an orderly form of organization.

There's a book titled ROBERT's RULE of ORDER - Book about Parliamentary Procedure that was published in the Year 1876. This Book is used by most organization in the United States.

Meetings are presided or lead by leaders. There is a temporary secretary that records all the minutes of the meeting. The bylaws state the purpose and principles as they are carried out for actions. The meeting also include the position, preposition, amount of dues being paid by the members of the organization. Each member should pay the dues. Duties and functions of each officers should be known to all members.

WORDS YOU'VE GOT TO BE FAMILIAR WITH IN THE PROCEDURE:

QUORUM - majority of the total membership, roll call of members

WOODEN HAMMER - also called as GAVEL used to rap to keep the members quiet

MINUTES and AGENDA - Itemized list of topic to be discussed, suggestions, opinion, summary, question and answer portion, report and result of the meeting

TABLED - Unfinished business given an attention. If action can be postponed the matter may be TABLED (set aside) to be considered in the next meeting

RECOGNIZED -permission to speak.

SPEAKER has the FLOOR one subject at a time. Speaker can be cut off when the Speaker is out of topic.

MOTIONS- plan or suggestion approve or not

CHAIR - Presiding Officer

After all action has been taken and matters due for further consideration have been taken or otherwise disposed > THE BUSINESS ENDS.

SPECIAL COMMITTEE or AD HOC COMMITTEE are formed for a particular job.

The SPECIAL COMMITTEE are formed for a PARTICULAR JOB. What are those JOB?

1. Exhibit Plan like a Party, Picnic, BBQ, Fundraising

2. Draft a NEW CONSTITUTION set by laws

SPECIAL COMMITTEE BREAK UP WHEN JOB IS DONE. Then the CHAIRMAN IS CHOSEN.


Here's the catch: In all the procedures of the Parliament GG or Governor General is not mention in the BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE. NEVER mentioned in any Parliamentary procedure. But since we are in the 21st Century the matters of the Parliament becomes a MODERN PARLIAMENT. Why is it?

The answer would be because the Party in power (Acquired more votes from people but not in the Parliament) in that country has the MINORITY and therefore needs a GOVERNOR GENERAL to tackle the PROBLEM. Sounds confusing isn't it? Twist and turn in the NEW MODERN POLITICS.

However, since the CABINET members had to cooperate the ruler usually chose persons who shared the same political ideas. Under PM Paul Martin in his time, he had chosen Gov. General Adrienne Clarkson. Then GG Michaelle Jeane after PM Martin left office and she's still the Governor General up to this time under PM Stephen Harper. Who is GG Michaelle Jeane? According to one famous Mr. Black only former Mr. Martin knows but probably all of us knew that she was from Haiti. GG Michaelle Jeane is the embodiment of Mrs. Clarkson and Princess Di. A combination.

Old parliamentary system is based from the British Parliamentary Practice. The British inherited it from the Egyptian form of government. While the Roman Catholic is based also from the Egyptian Religious faith. Then another old book I read long time ago it's based from the Babylonian Religion. Thus, no matter what the system of government it also reflects the religious faith of the country. That's what it is...plain and simple!
