Democracy doesn't mean "checks -and-balances" on power.

Yes, it does.

In Canada for example, the Prime Minister has essentially the same power as a dictator outside of the separation of powers set in the Constitution. Without such a document, which isn't required in a Democracy and which can still exist in a Constitutional Monarchy), the Prime Minister would be no different than a dictator.

Not sure why you're arguing this. Nothing about a democracy says the guy who is elected can't act like a dictator.

Edit - Honestly, it sounds to me like it's not democracy you hate but bureaucracy.

Those are arguments for my assertion that democracy is an illusion.

Perhaps we should answer the question 'What even is a democracy?' first.

I hate both.
