(🧵) For no particular reason, a (likely not) brief thread on why the shutdown of the US government, with the resulting furlough of public servants, does not happen in Canada.

🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ New in Xtra! Quinn Albaugh and I present new data on LGBTQ2S+ candidates in the 2025 federal election—and consider where to go from here.
With MPs heading back to the House of Commons today, we need to talk about the decline of LGBTQ2S+ representation in Parliament.

Reminder:
The Prime Minister simply stays on as Prime Minister.
It is not a new government. The Carney ministry is remaining in power.

What happens next?
Carney will be invited to form a govt by the GG.
Carney will be the Prime Minister-designate during a transition period (could be really fast or a few days).
Once the transition is over, Trudeau formally resigns as Prime Minister, and Carney is appointed PM.

Prorogation related procedural fact:
The date indicated in the proclamation issued by the Governor General for the opening of a new session can be moved to an earlier date by means of another proclamation.
This means that the next LPC leader could meet with the GG and ask for such a change.
