No having good people run is what makes it happen, not having people whose sole interest is making a pile of cash and having the ability to make even more cash. Someone who wants to truly make a difference will run no matter the wage, like teachers for example. Teachers tend to make #### wages but most love their jobs and do it well. The only incentive a politician has is not doing anything risky so the gravy train runs out.
Canada like many countries is very top heavy.
