Chretien, Canada’s uncrowned monarch
Between elections, a prime minister can now dictate his will to both cabinet ministers and Parliament
by Mike Byfield
Oxford American Dictionary
Democracy: government by the whole people of a country, especially through representatives whom they elect.
Dictator: 1. a ruler who has unrestricted authority... 2 a person with supreme authority in any sphere, one who dictates what is to be done.
Suppose Canada’s prime minister decided to appoint an ordinary citizen to his Cabinet. That naive freshman, says political analyst Donald Savoie, would be shocked to learn how government in this country actually operates. “Canadians believe that their elected representatives exercise decisive authority, but they are wrong,” comments Professor Savoie, who holds the Clement-Cormier chair in economic development at the University of Moncton. In 1999, he stunned Ottawa’s ruling elite with the publication of his intimately detailed book Governing From the Centre: The Concentration of Power in Canadian Politics.
