I think that's a negative, in a way (the not being too angry or upset on politics). It seems not a lot of us (the general Canadian population) cares, or even understands what's going on. Everyone I talk to is either too ignorant about international, or even domestic affairs, or simply responds with "uhuh," or "meh." People don't seem to truly understand what kind of effect this has. Not only on people's privacy, but on the ultimate government control. If nobody responds, it basically gives the government a green light to do it again, and again. I'd disagree with our "functional political system." There's so many systems in-place that warrant a conservative behaviour. Such as the vote of non-confidence, first-past the post, no set terms or set maximum time in office, etc... It encourages the government to only act in their best interest. Only being interested in staying in office. Thus, potentially controversial or progressive bills would be worthless to make. So they do the same "safe" thing. I would also argue that we have really bad representation (not relative to any other country - just an absolute bad). Some have proposed other voting systems such as proportional representation. But this creates even more problems, such as common coalition, which I wouldn't classify as a good thing. But perhaps this is only because I'm ready for a lot of change in how things work, and not always acting on the status-quo. It seems the only way to really fix things, is to radically change a slew of systems - which most likely won't happen.
