"Kick-start the economy and build needed infrastructure, starting with:
? Cutting taxes for Canada’s job creators by reducing the small business tax from
11 to 9%.
? Supporting innovation and investment in companies creating jobs in Canada,
with an early focus on the aerospace, automotive, forestry and mining sectors.
? Creating jobs and building our economy with $1.5 billion per year in new
infrastructure funding to municipalities to fix roads, bridges and water
treatment systems."
Was watching Tim's video from a few days ago in which he mentioned Directive 51 again
Each time he mentions it, he tends to leave out the part about a mass casualty, government-interrupting event that forms the prerequisite for it
Sure, that happened
But that changes fuck all for me honestly
The bill's fucking atrocious
```"Catastrophic Emergency" means any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions;```
Oh
'Directive' 51?
That isnt Canada?
Nevermind me.
I thought of C-51.
Sorry, I kind of came in here with my own topic in mind
Though speaking of Canada, my big issue with how Tim talks about Directive 51 is how it requires something so ungodly catastrophic to occur before it can even be an option on the table,
in contrast to a place like Canada, where the Queen could dismiss your parliament tomorrow
That... No.
We wouldnt stand for that 😛
She knows it, we know it.
Australia stood for it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Australian_constitutional_crisis
Nearly half a century ago
Australia had their duly elected prime minister dismissed due to little more than bad poll numbers and a gridlocked legislature
and Australia just laid down and took it
And then the minority party's leader was put into power as head of government
Sounds interesting
and as far as I know, this is an area where Canada and Australia have virtually identical laws
The Queen meddled with us in the past a bit, but it was mostly political bullshit our politicians were asking for.
Canada's armed forces swear allegiance to the Queen personally
as do Canadian politicans
Yes, because we were both previously colonies
I cant say you're wrong in terms of laws
so they cannot, legally, object to her exercising her full authority
But in terms of practice i staunchly believe you're way off.
We can illegally, very loudly object to it
And we would
nah, Canada is cucked
you'd kneel to the queen
I find it hard to believe that Canada is independent of the UK bearing these factors in mind
Really, it depends on the circumstance.
If Canada were itself too divided to act, it probably wouldn't.
