Hey, don’t be so hard on our Canadian Cousin in Arms.
He is on board for our fight — the subtleties of democracy vs. representative republic is lost on most Americans, so if our Neighbor to the North missed it a bit, lets be gentle and kind.
I mean it. Canadian Free Press, for example, is a much more liberty-oriented publication than all but National Review here in the USA.
Damn right.
Actually Rapscallion is in the right;
There is a fundamental difference between Canadian & American conservatives. And there are two issues here: the first being Canadian conservatives only want to strengthen their freedoms within a direct democracy, while Americans want to reinstate a republican system. To quote your American forefathers democracy is tyranny & is the slow progression from a nation of freedom to a nation lead by the elitists in an oligarchy. Then there is the issue of the British monarchy, many conservatives want a stronger monarchy while Americans want the opposite. In effect forming an alliance would be treason to what your forefathers fought against.
Don’t get me wrong I really care what happens to my country but I feel that Canadian democracy isn’t broken at all. Quite the opposite, we have had freedom & now the population has made their choice of the type of oligarchy we are going to have. And it so happens Canadians have democratically chosen a communist type structure within our system. As the words go; peace, order, & good government, which is what Canada has. So what’s the problem?
The loyalists chose to be traitors to the American Republic & that trait of loyalty has been passed down the line, & the liberals know it, they are not dumb to that fact & consequently have used it to their advantage.
Americans chose to be traitors to the British crown, they chose to be independent, & loyal to their family, country, & no elitists. It’s only in the recent generations that has changed & therefore Americans are a lot harder to control.
