Canada does not have an elected representation of the People

There may be a little truth in what you're saying, iamcanadian. Governments usually focus on three or four 'priorities' during their term and spend their attention and energy on those files (Martin may be different - he is all over the place). The other departments and areas are more or less "managed" - it is on these files that the managers and bureaucrats push the agenda. Still, at the end of the day the politicians are still accountable to the people and have to face them on election day.

Yes, but at that point the elected just take the heat and blame. If they are good scapegoats they are allowed to stay in the game to try to get back in. If not, out they go for good when the bureaucrats get through with them personally for not playing along.
