Excellent little chart that compares the Canadian and American systems.
How interesting, that in Canada the head of state is the queen's representative (i.e., the governor-general), who is not elected but rather appointed (by someone who also is not elected), and that the prime minister is also not elected by the people, since the people only elect the members of parliament but not the party leaders, and the PM is simply the leader of the party with the most seats in the house of commons.
The Westminster System of parliamentary democracy: can't say I'm a fan. This is the alpha version of a less-than 1.0 version.
