Not to sound too cynic, but unless you have a powerful lobby on your side you won't get much done in government (US, CAN). Moving higher up in the government to have any position of power means that you necessarily 'played' the game and most likely are restrained by the powerful interests who help you along the way. Aside from any type of revolution or catastrophe (none I which I personally advocate), I can't see how you can make deep and lasting changes in the current system of entrenched interests. This is my opinion from observation. I am not an expert. Quite willing to read opposing views.
