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.

In Canada, a “Member of Government” (note the capitals) is a member of the ruling administration. America uses stuff like “Trump Administration” or “Obama Administration” but in Canada we just call it the “Government of Canada”. There started to be a slight drift during Harper (the Prime Minister before Trudeau) towards calling it the Harper Government but there was a large amount of pushback because the terminology “Government of Canada” is both a legal and traditional one. Calling it a specific government makes it feel dissociated from the country and not serving us.
So when the user said that a particular elected MP was not a Member of Government, he was meaning that he wasn’t in the ruling party. This is normal and common usage in Canada. Jordan, however, was unaware of this distinction. He removed the user for misinformation. Since then he has been told he was wrong by every Canadian and by the admins themselves but refuses to back down. My guess is because he’s a narcissist who is incapable of ever admitting fault because it would shatter his pathetically fragile ego.
Well, here we are on Sunday night. Nothing been done.
