    Parliament also is not “we the people”. And yet, it is Parliament that elects the Prime Minister. The they are under no obligation to elect someone who is a sitting MP. They never have been.

              How can you in the same post rail against our treatment of the Canadian forces, and then complain about sending aid to a country that is putting its ass on the line to stop WW3?

              If there is a breakdown of the rules based order, and sovereignty of nations you don’t think Trump would be emboldened to fucking with Canada? Or are you just one of those people who is OK with that?

              Open a book eh?

            I didn’t vote for PP to be the leader of the conservative party, does that mean that if he is the new pm that he is also unelected?

            Party members vote for the party leader. If that party is leading the govt then they are the leader of the country. It is how parliamentary systems work.

        If you want to keep saying “we the people”, please study how the US President is chosen. It is much less “we the people” than you think based on your apparent desire for elected representation.

        The Canadian Prime Minister requires much more direct support from voting Canadians than the POTUS does from the US population.

        The American Declaration of Independence uses some very quotable language, I understand. Please remember that it is not a legal document. It does not describe how that country works in reality.
