Who are our leaders?

Just a quick blurb about this from the U Sask campus as I wait and over heard a story of this.

With the recent plane crash involving many high ranked Polish government figures, including former president Lech Kaczynski and his wife, it has made me wonder what kind of people are running our country.

Now when you see news coverage from Warsaw you see thousands upon thousands of people lining the streets in mourning of this man and his wife. They were loved by their country. This seems to be lost in Canada and where I live, Vancouver. We do not love our government figures this way; we are not connected to them personally. They seem to be above us doing us favours by "running" our Country/Province/City.

I personally do not think I, or many around me would honestly react, like the people of Poland, if our Prime Minister passed away. Now don't get me wrong I would feel sorrow for a person dieing and the pain their families would go through. But I do not think my day would change much if I heard this news.

Just would like to know how others feel about this?
