Andrew Phillips argues that Canada lacks a national party system and provincial leadership rarely translates to federal success. He notes Ford’s popularity, Quebec and Alberta premier limits, and the rarity of premiers attaining national office, contrasted with the US pattern of governors advancing to the presidency.
