Do you seriously believe that 50%+ of the vote equaling less than 1/3 of the seats represents any kind of a democratic result?

No, they engineer ridings so that their supporters represent a majority. The result is states like Pennsylvania where the Republicans got 45% of the vote but 55% of the seats. Some of their electoral maps look like a box of distorted pieces of ginger, as if ginger isn’t distorted enough already. The US system also allows state legislatures to pull the same garbage when it comes to drawing federal boundaries. It is a thouroghly corrupt system that allows politicians to pick their voters rather than the other way around.

Wouldn’t count on it as long as Agent Orange is around. I guess that is Individual 1 now.

I imagine so. If nothing else the Americans will get a lesson in how slowly the wheels of Canadian justice grind.

We have to abide by our legal process in this but there is no question that we are being used by the US to pursue its quarrel with China. Not appreciated.

Ya got that right.

Agreed. However it can take a long time to actually extradite someone, particularly someone with her resources.

Seems the Norwegian option is not likely to be an option after all. Norway doesn't have same values as Brexit.

When did you start busting junkies? The fact is, there is little other countries can get from us that they can't get elsewhere, so sanction away and see where it gets you.

It is how local boundaries are engineered by parties to give them an advantage, it has nothing to do with the most populous parts of the country or an electoral college.

Except we are not the only ones with fossil fuels to ship. People will just buy them elsewhere. Junkies don't quit just because you put their dealer in jail, they find another dealer. Economic sanctions can work both ways. You don't think countries will retaliate if you impose them?

Ya, Trump thinks other countries pay the tariffs he imposes.

Do you know what gerrymandering even is?

That's up to the consumer. Asia will quit using those when it sees fit, not when Horgan and Weaver tell them to. Meanwhile, Horgan, Weaver and Co want to force British Columbians to go electric while they flog LNG and coal to Asia as fast as they can. Not Alberta's fossil fuels mind you, they aren't allowed. I'm about to do my bit for BC's carbon footprint. After Christmas I will hook up my diesel truck to my fifth wheel and head south for three months. My High E furnace will be set back to15 degrees, water heater on pilot and one LED light on a timer. It will do wonders for BC's carbon footprint but not so much for the world's. What's the difference between that and the NDP/Green climate strategy?

Gerrymandering enables the tyranny of the minority.

Lose Lose, what could be better.

Just the Dems? How about democracy?

That's just brutal.

It’s how you avoid becoming poor.

I think the new technology is great although it has gone overboard in many ways. The good old days weren’t that good in many ways. I have a 60’s convertible that I restored. The thing is really simple to work on compared to today’s vehicles but it is a piece of crap as a car compared to today’s. It also stinks. I have to air out the garage for about 20 minutes after I back it in but I can pull my newer diesel pickup into the garage and close the door right away.

It would be a start, I'm not a revolutionary.

How about we just balance a budget one day and maybe even pay off a little debt.

Then what does not being a US citizen have to do with commenting on US politics? Hypocrite.

So you are a Canadian citizen? Good to know.

The Liberals have been telling us the economy is great but they are still running 20 billion deficits. It is looking very much like the world economy is about to go in the tank. Then what?
