You believe that our provincial leaders should be democratically elected

We do not elect leaders. We elect representatives to represent the leaders (us). It is true that those representatives then hire a leader of their choosing to keep things in line while in the legislature. Is that the leader you are thinking of? That person is a leader, but is not the leader of the province, and is most certainly not chosen by democratic election. It is considered to be an appointed position.
