Chretien could be a dictator for all I know. I never know what's going on with the Canadian government, and He's been in charge for a long time anyways. Probably wouldn't notice a difference.Rethink Refuse Reduce Reuse

Isn't that one of the reasons why the US has different branches in the military, to make it more difficult for a military junta?It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

hmmm
It depends
Does the dictator do things like squelching freedoms ( other than voting rights which are obviously forfeit)? Does the dictator appropriate wealth from others and disallow criticism?
I'm just wondering if plato was right and the ideal form of government is a dictaor that is a philosopher-king
