Why wouldn't we be ok with that? The Prime Minister is the head of the house, he is Nancy Pelosi, elected by the elected members. Our system just lets him run the executive instead of the Monarch having any direct governmental control..

"Canadians seem ok not even voting for their Queen", would be a better comparison.

Also to point out that I don't know if there is a case (there probably is at least one) where someone lost the popular vote and formed a majority government in Canada. Trump lost the vote and is guaranteed 4 years, Trudeau lost the vote and has to make concessions to other parties or risk losing his job. Totally different circumstances.
