The PMO has all the power in Canada.

The PMO has all the power in Canada.
Its his show and his show alone.
And on that point there is no debate!!

The house of commons is nothing more than a bad show, to make the people feel like they have a democracy. When the truth is we have an elected dictator.

Elected dictatorships are those where dictatorships cleverly masquerade as democracies. In elected dictatorships, regular elections are held, a docile and subservient press is maintained that purveys lies and fear to intimidate the voters to support the ruling elite. The ability to pull off this masquerade of pretending to be democratic makes elected dictatorships difficult to eliminate.

Canadians are so fed up with smarmy politicians talking out of both sides of their mouths, ... Canada is in dire need of politicians who believe in government of, for and by the people, but we won’t get it so long as we allow our leaders to wield dictatorial powers

A better comparison to the Canadian situation might be Russia, where Vladimir Putin is able to act without concern for the formal role of institutions, although in Canada there are a series of extra-governmental actors

And we have watchdogs - the auditor general, the parliamentary budget officer and the like - but according to a count by Queen's University Professor Ned Franks, Harper has fired or forced out 10 watchdogs, which tends to cow the others.

The only way this near absolute power held by the PMO can be countered is by the Provinces taking a very strong stand, which may include exercising their sovereignty.

This is the power the Provinces have. It is a very important power which can be used.
