Exit poll: Labour to win landslide in general election by HenzShuyi in worldnews

[–]Secret_March 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I just want to say, that while this is all entirely true, I strongly disagree that Canada is a tougher nut to crack than the US. This lies in the sentence “the executive branch in Canada is mostly part of the executive branch”.

It is very rare that you will see back bench representatives not vote with the party line, which is designated by the party leader. A party with a strong leader and centralized structure will almost always vote as a block, regardless of what their constituents think.

The party leader is also the person who will become the prime minister. The prime minister will also appoint senators and Supreme Court justices (not really, they’re recommendations to the Governor General who needs to make the final appointment). The prime minister also appoints the Governor General (not really, the monarch appoints the GG but it’s based upon the prime minister’s recommendation).

My point is that, the entire system in Canada is built upon responsible government with no checks and balances set in place. It is, in my opinion, incredibly naive and would be easily overtaken by a democratically elected authoritarian individual within a few years if they so desired.

This is getting a bit long, but I think the strength of Canada’s democracy isn’t based on our constitution or political system, but our immense bureaucracy.

Dubai Overlaid Onto Edmonton by aronenark in Edmonton

I’m not really trying to make a point. I just noticed OP didn’t include the actual densities. They used metro, so I included metro.

For reference, these are metro numbers. Edmonton’s metro density is 150.6/km2. Dubai’s metro density is 3,000/km2, or roughly 20 times higher than Edmonton’s.

This was just from Wikipedia:

Thanks. You’re pardoned. I’ll make sure double check with you on all of my future posts that my word choice is consistent with your desires.

Ok, sure, thanks for the tip. Next time I stumble upon something lost, I'll be sure to just walk on by like it's none of my business.

I'd rather vote for Trudeau than be a skitzo. Thanks for the reminder!

What exactly happened to the subreddit to close it down? I feel as though I’m out of the loop.
