'The Parliament nominates the Prime Minister to head of government who is like our President but is not elected by the people but by the majority party of Parliament."
Not even close pooch. May want to do some research.
Life is too short to have a 'hate on' for so many things or people. Isn't it?

I'm not much into politics,I avoid the conversation if at all possible - the frustration of it all is too damn aggravating ...I do obviously read the political rants here and other places ... I find it interesting reading the views of others ...but King my friend, one thing I did notice in your post was the statement of Nova Scotia being the earliest(European ) settled province ...I've always been led to believe that title went to Newfoundland -I mean the boys with the horns on their head were in L'anse Meadows quite a while ago ...and i'm pretty sure the sign heading into St .Johns reads welcome to " " the oldest city in North america ...its been recorded as settled since 1519. All that being said ,I get exactly where you're coming from,I'm trout fishing most every evening, all wild-no stocked fish ,it is definitely something I dream about  Chris, perhaps you are a direct descendant of Leif??  I'm glad you made that point Chris. It should be common knowledge among all North Americans by now that the first confirmed evidence of the discovery of North America by Europeans comes from the writings of the Icelandic Sagas and is unarguably confirmed by the archeological sites in Newfoundland, in accordance with the Sagas, both in terms of location and time frame. Ahead of Columbus by 500 years.

Our political parties' members elect their leaders. The parties nominate candidates for election of Members of Parliament. The leader of the party who has the most seats in Parliament typically is named Prime Minister. Like I said, Dal, Pooch was pretty close. Or is there some other system I am unaware of?

It's okay that you're not up to correcting a Texan you say is schooling me on where the money comes from to pay for Canada's amenities. It is germane because you endorsed pooch's silly notions. You know better.
As for Tea Party, NYT and shootings, they have a gnat's eyelash of influence on America's current tragic travails, and I won't be going there today. Less said about their crazy aberration the better.

IF the leader of the party is NOT elected BY THE PEOPLE of his or her riding.....he or she will never become prime minister
The 'people' will always have a say in who runs the country.
So PARLIAMENT does not NOMINATE the prime minister.
But I guess in your mind cb.....'close' is just as good as fact.

Not even close pooch. May want to do some research. In a Parliamentary System the Prime Minster is selected by the members of Parliament and not by a vote of the electorate. If I'm not even close. Show me where it is different my info comes from WIKI, I looked it up because I was not sure I had it right.

'It's time Canada started being a Nation. If it is as I understand it, their system is dreadful.'
What you state may be 'a' system....but not ours.
What cb said -
"Our political parties' members elect their leaders. The parties nominate candidates for election of Members of Parliament. The leader of the party who has the most seats in Parliament typically is named Prime Minister."
This is very close, except, the leader of the winning party must still be elected by the people of his or her riding....That is why parties pick leaders that can actually win in their riding.
