Summary:  "The current state of Canadian democracy, contrasted with the founding principles of responsible government established by the Fathers of Confederation in 1867. The failure of modern elected representatives to perform their constitutionally mandated duty to hold the prime minister and his cabinet to account. The modern lack of separation between the executive and legislative branches of government and the disregard with which the executive views Parliament. Shines light on the current power imbalances that have developed in Canadian government. Examining the foundation principles of our parliamentary system and their subsequent erosion, this book seeks methods through which we can begin to recalibrate and correct these power imbalances and restore electoral accountability.
