Where is the #MoralCourage we were told this leader had? Wish that the #Liberal party adopted the process to remove the leader.. feels like that leverage would have been helpful these days.

4/8 Liberal MPs voted down the Reform Act, rejecting power to oust their newly-elected leader. Newly elected caucus chair James Maloney confirmed the decision, citing "caucus confidentiality" about discussions. Some MPs had wanted insurance after Trudeau's resignation saga.

4/14 Behind closed doors, anonymous MPs whisper of empowerment through the Reform Act—legislation that grants caucus power to remove colleagues, chairs, and even leaders. "It would be refreshing, unexpected," one tells Delacourt's colleagues.

📅 #onthisday 7 June 1832 the Reform Act gains Royal Assent 🗳️
Rotten boroughs weakened, but reform fell short. As @debbiekilroyauthor.bsky.social explains, it opened the door to Chartism and demands for real accountability.

5/8 The decade-old law championed by Conservative MP Michael Chong would have allowed 20% of caucus to trigger leadership review, with majority needed to boot leader via secret ballot. Conservatives used it to remove Erin O'Toole in 2022.

@beynate.bsky.social time to get ReformAct going or sit as an independent. Escaping to ON politics isn't going to be enough to stop the wholesale changes Carney is up to. You see laws being passed are anti-Canadian. It takes conviction to stand and not run away. People will support you, and others💪🇨🇦

When I am telling you that I watching what happens with this intently, I'm sitting here with popcorn.

2/8 Half a dozen MPs tell CBC they're pleased with Carney's performance after their election comeback. But they remember how Trudeau ignored resignation calls for months last year. "It's past time we adopted measures to reinforce a leader's accountability," says MP Nate Erskine-Smith.

4/12 At Tuesday's meeting, MPs must decide whether to adopt Reform Act provisions—the same mechanism used to remove Poilievre's predecessor Erin O'Toole. If approved, the caucus could potentially trigger a leadership review through secret ballot.
