Unless you mean that ultimately the decision lies with the state to build a dam.

No

Who built that dam?

Uh...

In Quebec

Oh, well that's stupid. It was Quebec.

The one you used as an example

So the province allowed it.

In other words not a local community

And the utility used the authority to build it.

It was allowed by the community.

Via the Democratic process.

And lack of resistance.

Democratic process is awful, but that is a side point

It was also welcomed.

As it created jobs.

Neither does democracy = local community

And an economy.

And again, how does that mitigate the affect the one community might have on the others?

Because democracy serves the majority interest, not the community interest

I used it as an example of the effects a dam can have.

Not as an example of building it.

direct democracy serves majority interest

Or by whom.

not all kinds

The US is technically a democracy and

there isn't mob rule here

I was just asking you what would be the punishment for such a transgression and who would enforce it?

Democracy=gay

Ur gay

go away

Don't reveal your power level Milk.

Democracy in the us allowed the opening of the borders which was then a race to who could get the most voters

That's irrelevant.

our main problem is the supreme court tbh

Sorry, but I couldn't let that stand

and the federal government

as a whole

RABBIT TRAIL @Milk

neither of which has to do with the democratic system

The federal government is reflective of democracy though.
