Although, they can also be ineffective due to the fact that the people investigating the law could potentially have a biased opinion and even though the government ask them to…

Prime Minister of Canada is a great gig. If you’re going to be the leader of a country, it doesn’t get much better than Canada. We have so much going for us. One of our greatest assets actually has nothing to do with us at all but rather the stellar quality of our neighbours. And every Prime Minister since Mackenzie King could count on that. But that’s the thing about great neighbours, isn’t it? You think they’re gonna be there forever and then one day there’s a sold sign out front and you’re…

However, the amount of power the head of state has is different in New Zealand. Today, the governor-general is elected by the Queen as per recommendation from the Prime Minister. This position of a governor-general does not entitle much authority over New Zealand in regards…

According to J.R. Mallory’s paper, “Cabinet Government in Canada,” the federal cabinet of Canada roots from the British governmental system. In many ways, Canada has kept British traditions, but as it developed, the governmental systems grew more different. In this paper, Mallory discusses how the Canadian federal cabinet compares to the British system, how it came to be and the role of the cabinet in Canada. Because Canada’s governmental system somewhat stems from Britain’s, there are many…

“Generally, the amount of power for each member of these institutions is to be uniformly divided; conversely, the fairly recent transformation has increasingly concentrated the majority of power towards the hearts of the government” ("Is the Canadian Prime Minister too Powerful?,"2010). In recent years, many political scientist have argued that the demographic changes in political systems have led the executive branches in western governments to have extensive amounts of power.
