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…6yrs6Y

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 ...

 @44NDCMPfrom Alberta  answered…6yrs6Y

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.

 @BDFWPJDfrom Ontario  answered…3wks3W

Yes, and limited to two terms, but with the ability to hold a referendum to add one term at a time for a leader with a majority of public approval.

 @B9QM3BVfrom Manitoba  answered…4mos4MO

Yes, PM’s who violate Canadian values and support should step down and if warranted have a harsher sentences if convicted.

 @B8GN34Xfrom Manitoba  answered…7mos7MO

i feel they should have a certain amount of time in office unless they did something very bad that effects us people and or community

 @B7MX7CRfrom British Columbia  answered…8mos8MO

Yes, limited to three terms maximum. But the Prime Minster should be voted for directly and separately so the executive functions are separate from the Parliament functions.

 @B5ZVG6Tfrom Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

Yes, but in a depends scenario, like there should be a board that decides if the prime minister has contributed or downgraded the overall country's state, if downgraded then there should be term limits.

Trump's Deportation Storm: America Braces for Mass Exodus of Immigrants

For months, immigration advocates have been planning for the possibility of Donald Trump’s return to the White House. Now, their worst fears have arrived.Immigrants’ rights groups have spent the last year preparing for a second Trump term and an overhaul of the nation’s immigration system, analyzing Trump’s proposals, drafting legal briefs, coordinating messaging and organizing aid for immigrants and asylum seekers. They responded to Trump’s victory with alarm and vowed to put up a fight, setting the stage for four more years of contentious court battles with his administration.Some are already preparing to push current leadership at the Department of Homeland Security to take steps to stymie the incoming Trump team, particularly on immigrant detention and the use of AI in enforcement.“We should expect to see the devastation of immigrant communities all over the country. We should expect to see family separation,” said Kica Matos, the president of the National Immigration Law Center. “It is entirely possible that he will try to use the military to carry out deportations, so that means that Americans all over the country will see the military engaging in enforcement against civilian populations, which is horrifying.”Trump, after winning a historic victory on a platform of turbo-charged immigration enforcement, has said he will conduct mass deportations at a scale never before seen. Immigrant advocates have warned this would be expensive and inhumane, separating families and wrecking communities. The president-elect has also vowed to build huge detention camps, hire thousands more border agents, funnel military spending toward border security and invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to expel suspected members of drug cartels and criminal gangs without court hearings.He has also said he would end “catch-and-release” — allowing migrants to remain free, often with monitoring, while they await immigration court hearings — and restore a policy from his first term requiring asylum seekers to remain in Mexico while their cases are processed. And he has dodged questions about whether he would try to bring back family separation.
