As a Canadian citizen, I look to the US today and see a system of checks and balances that seems increasingly ineffective due to both politicians and voters putting partisanship above the principles of fair governance and respect for office. Do you believe the structure of the Canadian government is any more resilient to this, or does it still largely come down to trust in the parties to adhere to the spirit of democracy even when they're in power?
