Talk:Joint address (Canada)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Why geo tag
1) I don't have a source for this, per se BUT, unless I am much mistaken, other commonwealth countries have bicameral parliaments and thereby would probably have simmilar procedure. 2) Another example: The US senate and the US house have joint sesssions, usually involving the State of the Union address, but sometimes for grave or other emergency situations, e.g. a declaration of war or other disaster. 3) What about countries that have a French-style government? 4) Even dictatorships usually have 2 "rubber-stamp" houses in thier govt.
If any of these cases are correct, please fix it. (I lack knowledge.)... If I am completely incorrect, let me know on my talk page. Cheers V. Joe 08:58, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
- Correct me if I'm wrong, but for #2, isn't the more usual US term "joint session"? Bearcat 09:42, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
