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.
I think your opinion is heavily influenced by American politics and doesn’t align with how parliamentary democracies work.
If Parliament is “we the people” and they vote to make decisions on every aspect of governance as your representative, how come them electing the Prime Minister is so offensive to you?
You shouldn’t even really be voting purely along party lines, you elect your local representative and they represent you. You should evaluate them on their own merits. They often vote along party lines, but even if “your party” wins your local election or even the most seats that doesn’t mean they get to form government without the support of a majority of Parliament. It’s always been this way, at no point do you ever make a direct decision on who leads.
Geesus stop attacking people because you don’t agree with them. And yes, I’m Canadian and have actually spilt my blood in defence of our “Democracy”. What have you done? And our wonderful country that sent us off to fight is hardly taking care of its wounded soldiers. We give billions to countries like Ukraine, while yours truly who was wounded gets little support from fellow Canadians or the Liberal government.

You’re not paying attention. Where did I say that parliament electing the PM is offensive to me? What I am saying that the PM being appointed by non-elected members of the LPC is offensive to me. It’s not parliament doing it, but the Liberal Party of Canada members voting for their next leader of the party, which is then automatically the PM. Helluva difference.

Parliament is elected, so of course they represent ‘we the people’.

1 day old account, look at the post history. I doubt that person is even Canadian.
