So does government exist for land or people?

So does government exist for land or people?

When concentrated urban areas rule the rest of the country’s people it leaves vast inequalities.... look at Canada right now . A relatively small area concentrated in southern Quebec and southern Ontario are basically running the whole show with little regard for the rest of the “land” . Add that to a PM that refuses to open Parliament for the next 4-5 months and we have a near dictatorship, not a democracy that supposed to be . An electoral college helps even out the issues for the land and people .

If Colton Boushie had been a white kid and Gerald Stanley a first nations man, Gerald Stanley would be in jail!

Property crime is not a reason for citizens to shoot and kill in this country.

If the Stanley's were threatened they wouldn't have walked up to a car carrying a gun they would have been running the other way or hiding.

The gun just "went off" pointed at Boushie"s head? The odds of that happening are very small.

That is not a *** like
They had a loaded gun in the car
Took a run at his wife with car
And lied about absolutely every thing that happened
This is in no way , shape or form anything like what is happening in the states ???
Justice in the US woulda been served if someone woulda shot that lunatic cop or tasered him while he was killing an innocent man
Seriously , what in the hell is wrong with you
I know gerry well , his life is ruined
He was just fixing a fence
Guys like you need to wake to **** up

Anybody else notice these guys didn’t work on Sunday? Makes you wonder if they are just paid sh*t disturbers.

Or religious fanatics, in church on sunday, instead of on the streets doing their "God's" will of ensuring the US is a white Christian nation.

I agree with your point, I don't really want Nunavat , NWT and Northern Quebec having control over our entire country because of their land area, anymore than I want the current arrangement.

But, there has to be some recognition of contribution to GDP. Not recycling money in the service economy, but actual wealth creation, exportable products or services, when deciding how to make political regions. Otherwise it becomes the takers making decisions on behalf of the makers. Population doesn't necessarily correlate with actual economic contribution. Lots of people in a city going to Tim Hortons and hair salons doesn't have the same net effect on the countries bottom line a a handful of people mining potash or growing grain, or drilling for oil, or fabricating the tools for the above, etc. Even if they do turn over the same amount of money in the same time.

Interesting commentary this morning.

Suggesting Biden basically just has to “not stuff up and almost do nothing” and he will win in a landslide.

World will be a different place if he gets in.

Bette or worse is the big question.

Who knows.

Honestly didn’t expect world wide protests as has happened overnight.

Meanwhile we just keep farming

I wouldn't be so sure that the world will be a different place. Read some of Peter Zeihan's work. Most of what Trump has done was inevitable, regardless of party or leader, and the isolationist trend is likely to only accelerate. Just go back and check the Democrats foreign policies from the previous election.

It might be more palatable and predictable under a civilized leader, and diplomacy and information dissemination might go back to their more traditional avenues, as opposed to tweets, but I doubt the contents will be any different.

Personally, I'm not losing any sleep over the outcome. For one thing, we have much much bigger problems to solve here at home, before we need to concern ourselves with the idiosyncrasies of most successful nation ever. A democratic win might just be good for western Canada. More Canadians (who tend to be much further left than even the Democrats) would be inclined to consider joining the US under a democrat than a Republican, especially this Republican.

General Bonespurs has called in the military to protect the Whitehouse. This is usually only for tin pot dictators. Oh wait he acts like one. What a true leader and man of the people.

What? You have a problem with a "Conservative" candidate that does this:

How will the current events affect Leslyn Lewis' chances?

I don't think the guy in red is Antifa. Looks like he's giving a Heil Five.
