You definitely don't speak for all up here.
At least, unlike Canada, America has a legitimate Constitution - and an excellent one when its wording is strictly adhered to.
Trudeau's arbitrarily imposed Charter of alleged Rights and Freedoms - but no responsibilities - is the national equivalent of a corporate "poison pill". Saying you'd "rather fix our system" is as realistic as making retirement plans based upon anticipated lottery winnings.
Aside from the fact that its "amending formula" gives veto power to supposed "provinces" with populations smaller than numerous urban areas, it guarantees public funding of radical minority special interests and enshrines the virtual non-accountability of the same unelected Judicial hacks which it compels you to bring your imagined "fixes" before for approval. Plus, it's so fundamentally flawed and openly socialistic that it doesn't even contain the right to own property!
There is no logical solution other than the wholesale substitution of Trudeau's bogus Charter for a superior, far more moral document.
My ancestors' dues-paid likely rank with yours but I'm also certain mine knew when to cut their loses and when it was time to stop flogging an obviously dead horse.

You also don't speak for all, or even most convservatives up here. Most of us would still like to save this country by reforming it. If you're so pessimistic about this country, why are you still here? Advocating the dissolution of this country is not exactly a "conservative" stance, is it?
Yes, the US constitution is a wonderful document when strictly adhered to. Unfortunately, on a wide variety of issues that appears to be almost never.
