THE AMERICAN POLITICAL ESTABLISHE­D NOTICED US!

-

Americans have long been captivated by the awesome power given to Canadian prime ministers. A majority PM is, effectivel­y, an elected dictator, and unlike U.S. states, Canadian provinces have much less power to stop him. In 2011, this fact prompted U.S. conservati­ve commentato­rs to write prime minister Stephen Harper was “the most powerful conservati­ve leader in the Americas.” Now, U.S. progressiv­es are envious of Trudeau’s capability to implement a climate change agenda they can only dream of.
