Why this petition matters

As a concerned organization, We have witnessed the erosion of trust and legitimacy in our political system. The lack of term limits for the Canadian Prime Minister and municipal government office holders has led to politicians becoming entrenched, wielding power and privileges through public apathy and corrupt means. This is not what democracy should look like.

In many democratic nations, term limits are standard practice. For example, in the United States, Presidents are limited to two terms under the 22nd Amendment. This encourages new leadership and prevents a single individual from holding too much power for an extended period.

It's time we bring this change to Canada as well. By limiting the Canadian Prime Minister to two terms in the House of Commons under our system of responsible government, we can foster an environment that encourages new aspiring leaders while preventing potential corruption.

Furthermore, implementing these changes on municipal government acts will ensure that local governance remains dynamic and responsive to its citizens' needs rather than being dominated by long-standing incumbents.

This is not just about changing laws; it's about restoring faith in our political system. It's about ensuring that every citizen feels their voice matters - because it does.

Let us stand together for change - for a more democratic Canada where every leader serves with integrity knowing they are there temporarily entrusted with power by its people. Please sign this petition today!

Thanks,

Youth For Transparency International
