The best argument for representative democracy (vs direct democracy) is that people donβt have time to invest themselves in every political decision.
Ironically, now we livestream every decision, follow every decision via pundits, and read each others hot takes about these decisions, all the while feeling helpless knowing we have no power to shape the decision-making process until, in the best case scenario, the next election provides meaningfully different candidates.
Spoiler alert: it wonβt.

It is pretty wild to see Hasidic Jews in NYC carrying Palestinian flags. This shows you how divided the Jewish community is outside of Israel. This girl isn't on board with those marching....

Canada's job market sucks because it's been in the shitter for several years from the prior liberal gov's immigration policies. (Trudeau added more jobs but still unemployment rose because of immigration levels)
Current liberal gov is still out performing US job growth though, mostly carried by Alberta.
(graphic made with opus 5.5 out of Canada, us gov data, based on stats since current liberal party of Canada was elected)

Week and a half away from the Alberta referendum with some new polling.
option 2 (commence process to leave) is sitting at 22%. With most supporting option to remain.
Some polling on perceived risk of American interference as well with 61% being somewhat/very concerned.
