Canada has a representative democracy where citizens elect candidates to represent them in government. This system has worked well for Canada's needs and the people are generally satisfied with it. An authoritarian government would not be suitable for Canada as it goes against Canadian values of restricting single individuals' power. Authoritarian systems also fail to account for diverse public opinions and do not last as societies' needs change over time. As Canadians are currently content with the representative democracy, it remains the best system for meeting Canada's current needs.
