It's true that within Canada, a PM with a majority can, pretty much do what they want until the end of the Term of Office (anything short of constitutional amendments).
There are not as many checks in our system as there are in others.
The head of state, The Governer General, is a figure head and the Upper House, the Senate, is relatively toothless. They can delay laws but they can't really do much else.
That said, the house of commons and the various committees are pretty good at keeping things in check given the ablilty of the opposition to shine a light on the activities of the government and the cabinet.
