!world@lemmy.world mods once again proving their incapacity to host a space for “world” news.
Terminology citation
Under Canada's Westminster-style parliamentary democracy, the terms government and Government of Canada refer specifically to the prime minister, Cabinet, and other members of the governing party inside the House of Commons, but typically includes the federal public service and federal departments and agencies when used elsewhere.[7] This differs from the United States, where the executive branch is referred to as an administration and the federal government encompasses executive, legislative, and judicial powers, similar to the Canadian Crown.
Emphasis mine. In particular I note that capitalization is not a factor. The fact that Voroxpete didn’t specify “capital G Government” doesn’t make a difference as I originally thought when reading.
Hello,
I'm affraid Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works is correct. Since the Liberal party has the majority, it is, by definition, a Liberal government.
You know, it's okay to be wrong sometimes. And it makes you a bigger person to admit that you are wrong.
I feel sorry about how this thread went the way it did with toxic replies, and removed comments and user bans. And, as a mod, I don't think it's a good idea to remove comments or ban users whom you disagree with. And even if they really are wrong, if their intent isn't to spread propaganda and hate, it doesn't warrant their comments being removed or them being banned. This is ridiculous. This shows a certain lack of maturity. Everyone needs to take a step back and think about what happened.
