  8. All this work is cutting into my TFP time.

    But today is the receptionist's last day. I don't think I ever noted it here, nor do I think I ever cared, but her initials are BJ.

    According the the government's human resources website, I'd make a fantastic clerk of virtually any variety. I will keep this in mind.

    That's right, box yourself into a space smaller than your apartment for pay comparable to that of a fast food restaurant manager.

    1. My current pay is equivalent to that of a McDonald's store manager.

    2. Clerical work is steady honest work that requires no critical thinking.

    3. It would be nice to speak to more than my dog and cats during my workday.

    Every time you Canadians who actually live in the Motherland do something smart I rue the day I was taken as a 6 y.o. from Canada. I think, why not move back? Then I think about the lack of employment I have secured 'up there' and the reason why most of y'all live within 100 miles of the US border (bloody cold) and suddenly I'm OK-enough that I only have a summer place there.
    Your constitution is indeed superior to the American one. Would it work in a country 10 times your size? I dunno but that's the excuse I heard for decades: Canada can do it (make smart changes swiftly) because Canada is so small.

    There are only three nations more than ten times the size of Canada, and barely twenty that are more than twice the size. Also, if you note in the article, most countries adopting Canadian standards are smaller: Israel, Hong Kong and Eastern European countries.

    And keep in mind that our small population is rather spread out compared to most countries, and so you take into account regionalism—in Canada's case: Western Canada, the Territories, central Canada, Quebec, the Maritimes. The constitution holds it all together through a balanced fairness and the upholding of rights. The article cuts to the core of it here:
    I don't think the total population is the issue; the issue is process.

    You are correct.
    I tend to oversimplify the gargantuan mess that is the US Federal government. But who is responsible for this government by and for 'the people?' Don't we the people chose who interprets and implements 'the process?'

    EDIT/ This is painful to see in black and white:
    In contrast, professors Law and Versteeg conclude that the American constitution, once the foundational document for new nations in search of a government, has fallen out of favour. It fails to protect rights, such as freedom from discrimination based on race or sex, that are considered fundamental in our time; it enshrines rights, such as the right to bear arms, that other nations don’t value; its courts increasingly interpret the American document so perversely – by claiming that it must only be applied as the founding fathers originally intended – as to render it useless as a tool for tackling modern problems./End Edit

    Regardless, your 'gift to the world' remains that. So thanks.
