Right. Because that system would never be abused by the wealthy, to influence elections. Just look at how great things are in the US. Virtually corruption free, down there.
Yup, indeed. Fuckin' great idea. smh.

While the rest of us got a trillion dollars poorer.
Stopping the export of all rare earth elements is way more damaging than any tariff.
"MAY violate the 1st amendment"? Ummm...there's not a lot of ambiguity here. It ABSOLUTELY violates the 1st amendment.
Dump the chump.
Oh, fuck...here we go. These clowns can't even manage basic electrical grid maintenance. Imagine having seasonal nuclear reactor malfunctions.
NDP will always be my 1st choice...except when they have no clear chance of beating the Conservative candidate. Then you gotta go with whoever does.
Yeah, because selling all our resources to foreign extraction companies is really going to improve things for the average Canadian.
Hasn't it always been about the cost to businesses? This is just them admitting it, for once.

I think what people cling to regarding the Constitution, is not that it protects democracy, but that it's intended to protect the public from authoritarian rule. It was written explicitly in response to the dictatorial behavior of King George lll.
The whole "democracy" part was always intended to be flawed, in favor of the wealthy landowners that wrote it...but the protections provided by it, were meant to prevent any future leader from ever threatening their personal freedoms.
It's really too bad they never hard-coded the steps necessary to actually prevent a dictator from taking power, though. That sure would have been useful right about now.
