I'm a Canadian looking on from the outside and by no means an expert on such stuff, nor do I have any dog in this fight, but the more I see of this, the more I'm convinced that congress simply doesn't want to get anything done. It seems there are many not overly complicated solutions to most of the country's problems but members of congress find the problems more useful as campaign issues and cudgels to beat their opponents with so they'd rather not solve them.

Theoretically yes, but as I understand things, nothing can be voted on unless the speaker allows such a vote and therein lies the problem. @raconteur5195

I would be more inclined to say it's your system that needs to be fixed. Yes, you can remove this or that person, this or that group of people but your problem won't be solved if they're just replaced by others who are every bit as bad or worse or who are just as obstinate the other way. The way I understand it, as an outsider, the parties control everything regarding elections from the primary system on up and thus, it is the parties who are the ones who must change things and they are unlikely to change anything which affects them negatively. @DuelScreen

I have no vote, then. Happy now? @ryankline1164
