While the United States appears to hold true to the ideals of democracy for now. Its democratic institutions have suffered erosion, as reflected in partisan pressure on the electoral process, bias and dysfunction in the criminal justice system, harmful policies on immigration and asylum seekers, and growing disparities in wealth, economic opportunity, and political influence.
The U.S. is now ranked 11th below Argentina and Mongolia in democratic stability.
According to the Canadian Broadcast Corporation (CBC), the government of Canada is fearful of what that might mean for them. Former national security advisers and directors at the Center for Strategic and International Studies warned Canada that the U.S. could become a "source of threat and instability" in the coming years.
Citing things like Fox News presenter like Tucker Carlson then President Donald Trump's attempt to overthrow the government. That, and the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol are a growing list of anti-democratic warnings. Their data gathering comes from top-secret information and a briefed cabinet on emerging threats. It warns that Canada has been complacent and warned it's time to tackle this problem. It fears possible future armed conflicts and American refugees on a Ukrainian scale attempting to enter Canada.

Canadians need to beware of their own prime minister. He has openly stated that of all nations he most admires China, *because* they are a dictatorship, and so “can get things done.” I’ve seen the vid, heard his exact words. He has frozen people’s bank accounts for political reasons. He really is a wannabe dictator.

I remember Bush the 2nd saying that he could see how a dictatorship would make things easier. You order it done it's done. However, then he said we'd never do that here. No one would stand for it.
ReplyDeleteHe's right. It would make it easier.
Clean the water in Flint...it's done. the Corps of Engineers has it finished in a few months. On the other hand any number of people may need to be disappeared in the process. Fuck that. Democracy is slow and messy. We like it better that way. No need to hide mass graves.
