@Speaking4m @DennisKalma I get Rothbard's path. Read "The Ethics of Liberty." Anarcho-Captialists/Libertarians have to be pragmatic and reject utopianism.

@davek682 @DennisKalma U dont get Pardy's path. Ur nation/Dennis' keeps the STATE over the PPL telling them how 2 live by Acts CMO, etc which is the same enslaving system we have, that we know doesnt work. Pardys nation removes Big Gov/ rules. A nation where there's no coercion & property is private.

Why does the Canadian political system feel weak? Canada sits in an odd middle ground. It has a parliamentary system with ridiculously strong party discipline, to the point where any dissent within a party gets squashed ruthlessly and publicly. This allows PM's - especially tyrannical PM's who have a particular ideology - to rapidly advance legislation. Courts can strike laws and "read in" intent where none existed at the time the law was created, adding still more places to insert ideology without oversight. Provinces have the clumsy "Notwithstanding Clause" which the federal government can edge around via funding and other mechanisms - which are thankfully not used much - yet. Canada has no elected senate with real teeth, even to delay legislation. It is effectively useless or more evilly, aligned to the power which appointed them, primarily the Liberals under Trudeau. It gives the illusion of second thought when it is nothing but an overpriced echo chamber. No separation of executive and legislature (PM controls majority) - there are kings who wish they had this kind of power. Less structural friction than U.S. or Germany or most other nations. Canada has relatively weak legislative checks. The courts look dominant mainly because the political side doesn’t resist much. Canada feels like laws are pushed through on autopilot because Parliament behaves slavishly to the party leaders, it is really a whipped majority machine whose MP's may as well be replaced by dummies.

This is how "progressives" view success. You got lucky. By the way Wab. Everyone born in Canada in the 20th and 21st century won the lottery, but you're standing in their way.

Does the erotic response elicited by a convincingly feminized biological male, whose presentation so artfully disrupts the immediate legibility of sexed corporeality, entail, for the male observer, an unwitting traversal into homosexual territory, or is it merely the heterosexual appreciation of an impeccably orchestrated illusion?

@Speaking4m @DennisKalma For example: if there's a civil servant (not the minister) in charge of an act, say Fish and Wildlife Act, then that civil servant must be elected for a term in order to exercise authority under that act. A US thing I don't like is the deluge of appointments after an election.

@davek682 @DennisKalma Yes, there's much more than term limits.. There are no unions & no chief medical officer.. A very limited gov to keep peace & protect the borders. The PPL /private sector doing the work, no socialism & no BigCorp. The tiny state has no power to give out special power 2 corps etc

@Speaking4m @DennisKalma I think the position names are unimportant. Who knows what people might want or how things evolve? My point is that there be a constitutional mechanism protecting ppl from the state by allowing them to select those in authority and putting term limits on them.

@Speaking4m @DennisKalma I like the term limits plus I would add abolish public sector unions and elect everybody as much as possible. Judges, police chiefs, prosecutors, chief medical officer, etc. If you have authority to restrict freedom under legislation, you should run for the office.

@Speaking4m @DennisKalma Blame Hitler and Tojo. The massive effort required to steer industrial effort to win a world war flipped the citizen/state relationship. Power limiting clauses tend to be circumvented under the auspices of security and the absence of a return spring mechanism means it stays.

@DennisKalma The Laurentian Empire is a 300km wide strip running along the north side of the St Lawrence watershed. It's a Foucault inspired socialist dump. It controls, by landmass, the largest set of colonies on the planet. Cooper was right about the myth of Canada and the prairies.

I think it's even worse than that. It is a colonial mindset, underpinned by a marxist desire for control while appearing democratic, larded over with an ideological bent which truly thinks citizens are not citizens at all..they are subjects and useful idiots. It is why Albertans with their independent, self-sufficient mindset do not fit. It is truly an awful system which has been running on its pre-1980's history and capabilities and now is squandering what ought to be the most prosperous country into nothingness. Within the realm of democracies, I cannot think of a worse system. Literally, I'd take any of them rather than what we have today in this unfortunate country called "Canada"

@theoilgod @One_Supernova @Breaking911 I am doctor in engineering. You are wrong. the energy carried by an object = 0.5*mass*speed^2. Meaning that the energy is related to the square of the speed of the object. Now, draw a parable of an equation of the second order. You will see how fast energy goes up with speed.

There's a lot of fishing Derbies going on in Saskatchewan right now. One of them at Montreal Lake has $100,000 grand prize. There's also a lot of cheating going on 🤨
