“a democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government."

it can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury.

from that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.

if you see low-trust behavior and yourself getting plundered, it’s 100% rational and arguably even moral to say “to hell with this system. i see no benefit to cooperating with it. it’s stacked against me.”

​II. The Death of the Trades & The "Build Canada" Scam
​As someone who has worked in the trades for over 15 years, I see the "holes" in your Build Communities Strong Fund. You talk about "supercharging" homebuilding, but your policies are crushing the people who actually do the work:
​The Productivity Trap: You demand 500,000 homes a year while your "hidden" fuel taxes and inflation make it impossible for ...

Someone finally put the truth in print in a Red Deer obituary. She was 71.
