The Canadian government won a reprieve today when the governor general agreed to suspend parliament until late January, putting off a no-confidence vote that the prime minister was expected to lose.
Analysts say Canada's political paralysis is unprecedented. A Canadian governor general has never refused a request by the prime minister to temporarily suspend parliament, but such a move had never before been requested to delay a no-confidence vote when it was clear the government lacked the confidence of a majority of MPs.
"There is no precedent whatsoever in Canada and probably in the Commonwealth," said Ned Franks, a constitutional scholar and political scientist. "We are in uncharted territory."

re: Canada's "uncharted territory"
Very simple to identify the method to the madness. Ordo ab chao. Create the chaos (chao), out of (ordo ab) that comes the "new order". According to Canadian constitutional scholar Ned Franks, the country of Canada has just entered "uncharted territory". The Parliament has been suspended and there is no "precedent whatsoever" to use as a guideline in finding an answer to the "political paralysis", we are told. Result: the door has now been opened wide for some 'creative' solutions. Looks like a perfect scenario to bring forth something 'new'. This is a very big deal.
