I have a lot of respect for Queen Elizabeth II as a person, but she's just another human as far as blood is concerned. Bowing to her would presume that I hold her status as a Queen to be authoritative, and her status as royalty genuine, neither of which I do.

That's because countries chose to leave the Empire or forcibly extracted themselves. Plus, she doesn't actually have much influence on policy. She's still head of state of 16 (I think) countries. Still a lot.

Gualimole wrote:I don't get why the right is so hostile to Trudeau.

My experience in Canada is that the left are equally as hostile. And rightly so, in my opinion. As a (small c) conservaive I never had the expectation that a Prime Minister Trudeau would represent my values, so I don’t feel necessarily betrayed by his policies.

In the last election, however, he appealled more to the left than is normally expected from our traditionally centrist party, and it were those particular policies that he’s failed to pursue.

Critics of the FPTP system don’t like it when you directly renege on your promise that “2015 will be the last federal election conducted under the first-past- the-post system”. Environmentalists don’t like it when you nationalize a pipeline project to ensure it will be built. Decentralists don’t like it when you squander your promise to establish better relationships with the provinces in almost record time. Recreational marijuana advocates don’t like it when the right to smoke pot comes at the price of the right to not be pulled over and subject to a vehicle search without there at least being reasonable cause. Feminists don’t like it when a party leader who has maintained that any member of caucus should be removed from their position if an allegation of sexual assault or harassment arises while an investigation or inquiry is pending, but refuses to hold himself to the same standard.

It’s my experience that the left are pissed.

Ah, but you see the Liberals wanted ranked choice, the NDP wanted proportional representation, and the Conservatives simply wanted whatever reform to take place only after a mandate for such had been achieved by a referendum. And thus, JT decried that there was “no consensus” and that reform could therefore no longer be pursued. Nevermind that:

a) The fact that there’s no consensus between our three major parties is nothing new and should be expected on almost all policy decisions.

b) The consultative town halls his caucus colleagues were holding across the country seemed to give the impression that there was a consensus for ranked choice because that’s what the Liberals reported was the overwhelming topic of discussion and preferred option coming out of those meetings.

(Let’s have a moment of silence for all the tweets deleted by Liberal MPs once Prime Minister Butts made the decision that they would not be pursuing any reform)

c) If there is or isn’t consensus among the Canadian people, then a referendum was likely a better measure for determining this than a bad feeling in JT’s tummy.

A referendum seems reasonable, especially when there isn't a consensus among the parties. But seriously, I want a voting systems discussion. We haven't had one in a long time.

I used a predicative bot to regurgitate a part of the Communist Manifesto. This is what it gave me.

"The Communist literature that accompanied under various nationalities against marriage is in reality a bourgeois. They therefore acts clerical socialism aspires among their hindquarters who must constitute community class. They are full. Communism deprives capital and labour. They still vegetate every country. They therefore search that society with industry and commerce and communism abolishes eternal truths into harmony."
