  • @FannoFlow The speaker is dragged unwillingly because it is the speaker's duty to represent the house to the monarch or her representative. The speaker would run the risk of incurring the monarchs wrath should the news they delivered be found unsatisfactory, so speakers in the past would take the chair almost unwillingly.

  • @Xanaseb

    We have it in the UK as well. For some reason it's "custom" for the speaker to be dragged unwillingly to his position. I think it's to demonstrate that he's meant to be humble, fair and above party politics.

  • Wht a strange custom you have in Canada! Only kidding (this is someone from the UK speaking! :))

  • Congratulations Mr. Speaker. You're the first sitting MP from this province to get the job and I know you'll do the Rider Nation proud!

  • Good luck, Mr. Scheer. Do all MPs have a Youtube channel where the comments section is open? I hope so.

  • Sincerest congratulations. Having watched you as a deputy in the past indicates both your ability and commitment to the role.
