"Governor in Council" in the Canadian political system is the Cabinet.
Who serve at the will of the PM, he recently just shuffled them around. Recently the government has concentrated and centralized power in remarkable ways that goes largely unnoticed.
- dmix 3y agoThis has been the largest trend in western countries since early 2000s (growth in executive/PM power). And Canada wasn't even close to the notorious executive over reach of the US until recently (if anything Canada has long been a better beacon for state-rights/federalism than even the US), but like all Canadian politicians they get jealous of the US system of power.
