Trudeau like Obama was never much more than a public face for a hidden cabal anyway, so they continue to rule. They will be telling the number two person (Chrystia Freeland) what to say and do although Trudeau seems well enough to soldier on with his crushing work load (0900 comb hair, 1100 invent a few excuses, 1300 work out, 1500 skin manicure, 1700 well I can’t say on this site but take a guess).

Ms Freeland is an odd sort, the conservative blogosphere speaks of a vague Nazi background of her family in the Ukraine, but things won’t be much different if she has to take over the reigns for a while.

Our system is somewhat different in that there are not really separated executive and legislative branches of government, the executive has to sit within the legislative branch and interact with them all the time rather than when it suits them. Our Senate is a fairly toothless beast, there to review legislation and seldom do they raise an objection to what the peoples’ representatives (soi-disant) have seen fit to send them. Also the Queen’s rep (the governor general) is involved at the end of this long chain of hear hear, and there again, once in a blue moon is there any murmur of disagreement.

The Cabinet runs the government and cabinet ministers can be a lot more powerful than appointed analogues in DC, they are somewhat independent of the PM especially if they have a following in the party or the country. That has not been the case very much in this recent government but it was true in past cases, sometimes to the point where the PM had to navigate his way between two or three very powerful Cabinet rivals for leadership. That system can have benefits too.

Right now all we’ve got are a bunch of robots programmed by Soros and the Tides Foundation, and another bunch of pretend opposition members most of whom haven’t opposed anything in their adult lives. There might be six good men and a moose in that parliament. Seems like there’s always a moose involved in these things.
