Well, much as I appreciate charley's explanation of "Canadian" systems...please be aware that Canada has a "parliamentary system" ( despite having a snivelling lifetime appointment Senate, we don't have "checks and balances" ...tho seems you don't really have that either.

Leader of party with most members selected gets to be Prime Minister. That's it. They want to throw him/her out, they vote "no confidence" on a budgetary bill. No budget, no money, go away till we choose someone else.

Many many differences but this is at the core. We never have one guy who can have over- ruling say over a whole house of parliament. He is just one guy voted in to his seat in parliament ... just like everyone else...then selected to rep the majority party and be the PRIME minister ..everyone else is just a minister ( no PRIME) ). If he gets them to support him, and the majority and his policies, he gets them passed...otherwise too bad for him and his party.

Weird how US fought to overthrow a KING and ended up with a system that can't seem to evade having one....and Canada ended up with no revolution but an evolved representative system.

Be careful what you wish for.
