Why Canadian PMs are the closest thing the democratic world has to a dictator




Complete, unchecked power over judicial, senatorial and even vice-regal appointments

have kept unilaterally exercising the substantial executive powers of his office until the country ran out of money or bureaucrats stopped showing up to work, whichever happened first.
instantly dissolving a probe into the WE Charity scandal.
In much of the rest of the democratic world, this kind of behaviour would be abhorrent to the point of inspiring riots. In Germany, the Bundestag tells the Chancellor

Re: Why Canadian PMs are the closest thing the democratic world has to a dictator

Remember when the 2 Canadians complained about how our Supreme Court justices were placed on the high court? Just look at their system of appointing judges. No oversight whatsoever. People misunderstand how Canada is governed. I am not one of those people.

I remember listening to one of Rush Limbaugh's guest hosts who was a Conservative journalist from Canada. Called himself the undocumented guest host. He often mentioned the lack of freedom in Canada.

Supreme Court Appointment Process and the Prime Minister of the Day - Centre for Constitutional Studies

Re: Why Canadian PMs are the closest thing the democratic world has to a dictator

Awwww. Poor Billy. Here's how it really works.

PM Trudeau’s Selection Process 2016 – Present

Prime Minister Trudeau’s government implemented an entirely new selection process upon his election in 2016. It created an independent and non-partisan Advisory Board to manage the process and recommend “qualified, functionally bilingual candidates who reflect a diversity of backgrounds and experiences for appointment to the Supreme Court of Canada.”[13] The Advisory Board is comprised of a retired judge, two lawyers, a legal scholar, and three non-legal members.

Your own article proves everything I said. The Advisory Board is just that. It advises. Trudeau makes the pick. The selection process in the USA is much more accountable and with more oversight. You have bashed our process for the court but yours is worse. But you never criticize Trudeau or your government. Whatever. I'm just pointing it out. Facts.

Okay. Thanks for your input. Biased as it is.
Everyone's views are needed for a healthy dialogue.

For those who want to know:


An Elected Senate?Differences from the beginning: The basis for statehood

The US is a republic while Canada, as a member of the British Commonwealth, is a constitutional monarchy. This means that while the President is the US Head of State, the Canadian Head of State is Queen Elizabeth II, as represented through the Governor General (Her Excellency the Right Honorable Julie Payette).

If you are going to spread garbage, at least get the basic facts straight.
Queen Elizabeth II died and now King Charles is the figurehead in charge.
Julie Payette was removed as Governor General because of the toxic environment she created and was replaced by Mary Simon.
The Canadian Senate is a vestigial organ in the Canadian government, the only real power they have is to hold up legislation for a limited amount of time. They basically just take up space and money.

Thanks for your input.

You remind of the guy that when the doctor tells you that you have cancer and only a few months to live, you tell him that he mispronounced your name. Does it really matter who the King/Queen is or that Mary Simon is Governor General? No it does not. The point is that the Canadian system of government is worse than ours. Power is much more centralized in Canada. That's a fact.

I understand that you'll never criticize your Government or Trudeau but why are you so scared of information?

If I attempt to correct you again you will bring out your fascination with my sex life so I choose to avoid that.

Thanks for your input and your interest in my country.

What he is scared of is going to jail or paying huge fines if he were to criticize the Canadian government.

You two are quite humourous in your complete lack of knowledge of Canada. In fact I can and have criticised both the Canadian government and Trudeau. I have said MANY times that I dislike Justin Trudeau as PM. I have zero fear of having the RCMP coming to my door for having said it. I think he is a terrible leader but he is a thousand times better than anyone the conservative party has to offer. So there you have it.
