Paul Craig Roberts often gets it exactly right. In this discussion of the destruction of America's founding principles, I find myself in agreement with PCR.
Even though I am a Canadian citizen, I have always been an American owing to the fact that I have long recognized that America's principles are my own.
Canada, on the other hand, was founded upon state supremacy. Look at our Charter of so-called "Rights and Freedoms." It is nothing of the sort. Rather, it is a statement of permissions and privileges, revokable at any time by politicians, and their appointed judges. It stinks to high heaven.
What else does it mean to say, "While the Charter protects these rights against government actions, Section 1 allows for reasonable limits prescribed by law that can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society. It also affirms Canada’s multicultural heritage and recognizes existing Aboriginal and treaty rights." In other words, Section 1 allows for "reasonable limits," which is a matter of opinion, that can be manipulated in the service of sleazy politicians in accordance with whatever sleazy agendas they promote.
What is "reasonable" to some woke lunatic is far from reasonable to anyone with a shred of common sense. So, a correct interpretation of Section 1 basically means that your rights, or lack thereof, are to be determined by those who have the guns. As I said, it's not about "rights." It's about permissions and privileges.
This explains why Canada has now transitioned into a primitive caste system.
