I'm having trouble learning anything from this stream of disconnected, time-sorted tweetlike objects. I'm posting this on the off chance that a better article exists, and someone can point me to it. I assume it's too early for that though.
Canada has no term limit. Leaders stay on until they have lost the support of their party.
Often that happens after a devastating election loss.
In this case it is happening because of his extreme unpopularity before the election and his parties hope of improving their election prospects under a different leader
Elections have a deadline after which a new election can be called, but there's no number of terms served that then stops a re-elected leader from taking office if they win another election. It's not the case that people can just stay in office without holding elections forever.
you can't compare the US here. a prime minister is not just like a speaker of the house. in many countries world wide the prime minister takes on most of the responsibilities that in the US are fulfilled by the president. the prime minister effectively runs the country, while the president is just a figure head having mostly ceremonial duties. the role of the president in the US is different, and an exception to the common rule.
at least some of the reasons why the US president has a term limit could therefore also apply to other countries prime ministers.
that is true, but in the countries with a prime minister i know about, as far as i am aware, noone has that kind of power. in other countries the concept of an executive order appears not to even exist. in my brief search i only found something comparable in france can be issued by the council of ministers. everywhere else only parliament can do that. nevertheless in those countries the prime minister is the most powerful person running the country, and the president is a figurehead.
