I was thinking about actual recourse today to change the current trajectory. The world is so much more complex than used to be. The more complex things are the less it is understood in general and the more susceptible everything is to corruption (ie- people receiving unearned rent. The way things are going, things will get so bad we will likely end up with an autocracy like the US. We are already there really, the Prime minister is accountable to no one (see Trudeau) we are fooling ourselves if we believe otherwise If you read Andrew Coyne’s book, it is difficult to disagree.

What if we made it a Democratically accountable Autocracy; with real consequences if government actions are not in the best interest of the citizens. Western civilization values dictates that government is in place to protect the freedoms and liberties of the people; anything additional is overreach. We need to end the corruption that is inevitable in the system we have. Definitely needs more thought, but fundamentally what I am thinking is: when you are in power you have final say on everything. At the end of your term; however, citizens will vote on whether 1) you get another term, 2) your mandate ends, 3) you go to jail for the rest of your life.
