I am not particularly worried about the elected-ness of our PM - the
process is a democratic one.  But Dave Sherman is dodging the
issue with the head of state/govt. argument; in practical terms, the
Canadian PM wields much more unconstrained executive power than the
US prez.  This is due to the fact that the PM is in effective control
of both the legislative and executive branches of government.
