it is true that, in canada, the prime minister is elected by the house of commons, and not by the people. so, the governing party has the ability to replace the prime minister with a member of it's own party....or a member of the opposite party, i guess, although that's a blurry part in the law for obvious reasons - it's absurd.

the impeachment hearings are not comparable to that, but are rather comparable to the situation where the opposition introduces a non-confidence motion. and, in canada, that triggers an election, it doesn't lead to a bureaucratic shift in power.

so, i'm backposting and that might be blurry, but the key is the context. and, i'll double down - i think impeachment is an undemocratic process that should be abolished.
