Government of Canada needs to change.

Over the last 153 years, the country of Canada has gone through many changes.  The expectation that Parliament in 1867, would be the authority of Canadian government as the only base of authority to govern the country, has seen so many changes that parliament is now pushed aside, becoming no more than a rubber stamp.

The development of the Government of Canada being made up of the Prime Minister and the Cabinet, as created in the 1983 Constitution Act, has seen further changes that Cabinet rule or leadership has too been pushed to the sidelines and basically being told to do as they are told and to not make waves.

At this time, justin trudeau has established what was considered under the leaderships of Jean Chretien and even Steven Harper, that the power of the prime ministers office and the courtiers contained with in the prime minister's office, now run the show. 

No longer does the government of Canada is contained in the Cabinet.  Cabinet government rule does not exist at this present time.  All the authority and policy making comes from the prime minister and his courtiers.  Once they have created the next policies the cabinet ministers are instructed to accept the policies and not make any waves.  This was not intended when Canada was first established as a nation, in 1867, nor was it intended with the Constitution Act of 1983.  Total elected dictatorship of a party leader was not the intention of Canadian democracy.

Since 1983, the Supreme Court and later the High Courts of each Province, have entered into the realm of creating and defining policies and legislations of the government of Canada.  By adding the courts into the area of deciding legalities and policies, the governments both federal and provincial have found themselves in positions where parliament and government ministries are questionable to the point of also being pushed to the sidelines.  All that is left now is the policies and directions being made by the prime minister's office.

Canada has also moved into a direction whereby the authoritarian demands of the sciences becomes paramount the development of policies and legislations, all at the beckon whims of the prime minister's office.  Again a direction that was never intended at any time in these last 153 years.

Canadian democracy needs to rebooted.  It needs to be changed and re-established so that Parliament is the body of legislators that define the governing of the nation.  This means that Parliament gains the authority to rule the country by the people who elect the representatives into office and not the prime minister's office nor the cabinet.  The powers to guide and lead the country needs to come from Parliament.  From there the leader of the party obtains his/her authority to lead the nation from Parliament and not just because prime minister is the leader of a party that has achieved the most votes at the time of the election. 

The authority to guide the nation must rest with Parliament.  That way the people have power to give Parliament the mandate needed to govern the nation.  The Senate should also be an elected body and together the House of Commons and the Senate Chamber, establish the collective authority to lead the country and have the power and authority to control and define the powers of the prime minister.  In all, the authority to govern then comes directly from the people of Canada.  This will by design, make the vote of each person the basic collective source of importance.

This will ensure the democratic condition whereby Canada would be governed by constitutional governance and not elected dictatorship of the leader of a party.  I see this as the start of a democratic government where the people have the collective responsibility so that Parliament governs the nations.

The power of the courts should not be an over ruling body of non-elected persons deciding what is legal and what isn't.  What is government policies and what isn't.  The role of the courts should be returned to the interpretation of legislation and the enforcement of the legislations passed by Parliament.  The Supreme Court of Canada should include being a advisory body making suggestions to Parliament.

The government of Canada should be Parliament, consisting both the House of Commons and the Senate Chamber.  The prime minster and the cabinet should seen as officers of the government, who's powers are determined by Parliament.  The prime minister and the cabinet become representatives of the Government of Canada, from which their authority to establish policies and considerations of legislations is under the guidance and authority of Parliament.

This is a starting point.  This is something to work from.  Canada needs to change direction from the present dictatorial conditions that have been established over time.
