If the pm is doing very well serving his/her countrymen. Why give a limit. Good governance shouldn't be stop by "politics".

 @4WKHTLWfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes and because they are supposed to be representing Canada and All Canadians they should be able to be fired & be held legally responsible if at any time they don't represent all Canadians equally ...

Only for the Liberals because they have no idea how to run a country other then into the ground, and no way in Hell should Quebec-qua be able to run in Federal politics unless they have a party in every province.

If a systematic guarantee that absolute despotic power could not be gained by a recurring candidate, I think they should be able to serve for more than two terms

 @B3HJK9Rfrom Manitoba  answered…1mo1MO

Yes, limited to three terms under our current system since Ontario and Quebec voters have the most power in determining the outcome of the election. If under a proportional or instant runoff system, then no.

 @B3PTXTYfrom Alberta  answered…3wks3W

No, Canada has never had term limits before and they shouldn’t start now either, just because of the USA fumbling the ball does not mean we should get scared and act to change the charter of right and freedoms

 @B2BM93Xfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

Limited to two terms every 20 years. So you can be Prime Minister for 8 years in a row, and must wait 12 years. Or do 4 years, lose an election or two, do another 4, and wait until 20 years from your first election to be able to run again.

If we switch to proportional representation then no

Arlington Cemetery staffer ‘pushed aside’ by Trump aides

The Army on Thursday defended a staff member at Arlington National Cemetery who found herself in a brief confrontation with two men working for the Trump campaign, saying in a statement that she “acted with professionalism” during the encounter and that her reputation has been “unfairly attacked” by the former president’s representatives.The woman, whom Army officials have requested remain unidentified because of concerns for her safety, sought to restrict photography by the Trump campaign in accordance with federal regulations barring partisan activity at the cemetery, the final resting place of more than 400,000 U.S. troops, veterans and family members. Former president Donald Trump was there to mark the third anniversary of a suicide bombing during the evacuation of Afghanistan that killed 13 U.S. troops, and the families of two of those service members had invited him to accompany them to their loved one’s graves.But cemetery staff had laid out guidelines in advance of the visit that made clear there was to be no official photography during a graveside visit in Section 60, a 14-acre plot where many veterans of recent wars are buried. After the employee sought to reinforce those guidelines, she was “abruptly pushed aside” by the people in Trump’s entourage, officials said in the statement.The confrontation prompted the woman to file a report with law enforcement, but officials said she later decided not to press charges. “Therefore,” the statement says, “the Army considers this matter closed.”The identities of the two campaign employees alleged to be involved have not been disclosed.
