Esteemed Reader;
When it comes to Canada, I know very little about the interrelationships between our judicial system, our parliamentary protocol, and or our Supreme Court. As limited as my own understanding may be, I suspect that the average Canadian knows far less.
Once you begin to examine the history of politicians running roughshod over people's liberties and livelihoods, you'll find little in the way of resistance until after the damage has been done. Billions of dollars de-materialize without so much as a "hey, wait a minute here pal", and people never seem to notice until the evidence has been made into confetti, and the fallout takes effect on their household budget. Nobody bothers to read the small print or present effective arguments, and governments will do everything imaginable to avert public scrutiny until they're ready to take the chisel to the tablet.
I've never really experienced what it's like to have a livelihood, and so I sit back as a well-fed casual observer and watch other people struggle to make ends meet while their elected representatives in government live the good life on hidden tax revenue. A cult of personality elevating itself into a parasitical elite class.
Stephen Harper is criticized for appealing to the Supreme Court when everyone knew that the outcome was a forgone conclusion. I see his resolve as a series of expository exercises. Pushing one envelope at a time until the stack of mail casts a shadow of doubt that no bias exists. Exposing the redundancies of a sitting authority as it relates to a parliament that practices democracy through perseverance... or something like that. While all manner of theoretical and scientific means are available to predict the likeliest outcome, you can never know with absolute certainty whether or not the seed will sprout until after you've added water and waited.
