To: proud American in Canada

Canada was given responsible government by Britain in 1848 and that meant a Cabinet responsible to an elected House. The Fathers Of Confederation modeled Canada’s federal government after that of the UK. It means the government is chosen from the House Of Commons and must maintain its confidence to remain in office and they cannot ever be opposed on any matter for any length of time. This means voters get what they want every time there is an election in Canada. Divided government is an impossibility in a parliamentary system of government.
