Is OTTAWA the problem in Canada?
Justin Trudeau is the most despised and distrusted Prime Minister in Canadian history, yet he and his Liberal Party were chosen legitimately by more voters than the Conservative alternative.
Actually, Ottawa is only the SYMBOL of the REAL PROBLEM.
The majority of voters are economically illiterate and naive enough to believe the promises of FREE STUFF from politicians! If you are unhappy with the people who hold the reins of power in Ottawa, blame every FREE STUFF advocate who voted for LIBERAL or NDP candidates!
Democracy’s Decline Has Been Constant and Predictable
The steady increase in the size, cost and scope of authority manifest in all levels of government over decades is all the proof one needs that VOTER GREED & GULLIBILITY is behind all of it.
For this past growth to have occur, it required that the typical voter actually believed that all “civil servants” really care more about serving “the greater good” than their own paycheques, benefits and job security.
In addition, those same typical voters must also have believed that the government bosses (department heads) and bureaucracy planners were actually more motivated to spend public money with respect for taxpayers as their top priority rather than any personal career ambition.
Who would have imagined a century ago that VOTER GREED & GULLIBILITY could eventually destroy a nation?
Wealth Distribution with promises of “equality” is the age-old political con game and road to power.
A “Democracy”, based on a form of government that “beggars thy neighbour by fiat”, is not a true democracy. It is a totalitarian dictatorship enabled at the ballot box. It has been a very successful political strategy which could never has successes if VOTER GREED & GULLIBILITY was not the dominant feature of the political landscape.
“The hallmark of democracy is that it permits citizens to participate in making laws and public policies by regularly choosing their leaders and by voting in assemblies or referenda. If their participation is to be meaningful and effective—if the democracy is to be real and not a sham—citizens must understand their own interests, know the relevant facts, and have the ability to critically evaluate political arguments. Each of those things presupposes education.” - anonymous Internet source. Unfortunately, The majority of voters are too poorly educated to be trusted with the responsibilities of true democracy.

America suffers from VOTER GREED and GULLIBILITY too
The following quote shows that our neighbours to the south of us are also facing the consequences of this fatal flaw in democracy.
“Americans were once proud of their government. Americans were freer than other nations because their government was the smallest. Now that our government has grown, our freedom has diminished. Sadly, many Americans are unaware that our government has become the problem and still blindly support it. Consequently, government grows bigger, destroying our freedom even further. Patriotism isn't about supporting your government; it's about making sure that your government supports freedom. Anything less is an invitation to tyranny”. - Mary J. Ruwart PhD
