"If the voters don't like it, they have to wait out the five years to elect a new government,"

Or, you might also add that that we might call an election after just two years of power. So, unlike the US which gets stuck with 4 years of Clinton or 4 years of Bush, we get a chance to oust our Prime Minister much sooner.

As far as your dictatorship comment is concerned, have you ever tried to get a husband and wife to decide the color of paint for a bedroom? If you think you can get over 250 Members of Parliament to vote in unanimity on something considerably more important than canary yellow, you are most certainly living in a dream world.

Try running your household by committee. If you can manage to keep your toilet clean then maybe you can come back and suggest that a nation should be run by committee too.

"I said that government of Canada is a five year dictatorship..."
Yep, that's what you wrote.

"....but I do not recall likening it to that of Nazi Germany."
Thank you. My point exactly. Your post did not appear to discern the difference between democracy and dictatorship is what makes it flat stupid.

But heck, I'm just a dumb logger so what do I know about them things?
