Paul Wells (the must-read on Canadian politics) links to a superb demolition of Newfoundland premier Danny Williams -- by a fellow Newfoundlander. They can talk down there.
Despite Wells, root of the problem isn't Williams's demagogue tendencies. It's the lack of checks and balances to control them. We can't go on with this system by which someone wins (buys, more often) a leadership convention -- and gets dictatorial powers for four years. Caucus! In a parliamentary democracy you have duties. Say no.
