@chris @stephanie oh wow that's even more confusing to me. A government only has "power" if it is supported and represents a majority in parliament. But your parliament is suspended yet the government is functioning. Interesting.

@stephanie @chris Belgium is currently also without government since June's elections, but here the old one needs to continue "current affairs" (no major decisions allowed). Is that the same in Canada?

@chris thanks for taking the time to write this out.

So since there is a leadership race for the liberal party, he's still ad interim leader until that election.

I didn't know the parliament is in suspension. This seems strange to me. I would think that the current parliament can try to form a new government with a majority in the given parliament.

@chris can you summarize to ignorant foreigner what’s happening now in CA politics. I think I only knew Trudeau and Poillievre.
