A Democratic Movement is Inevitable

Thanks for this but what I was referring to is a constitutional convention, and the Convention of States is something I'm not that familiar with.
I believe they are one in the same. (I think)

Please do stay there...

However, your application of giving statistics of crime and relating it to Trump and democracy is a fallacy.

I also believe that for the reason of security we relinquish the responsibility of liberty is wrong. Thus you may be secure but with less freedom. Try going against the "speech control" and see what happens to you.

I am happy to live with freedom here with its responsibilities than being in subjection in Canada for the benefit of security. Personal responsibility.

(Actually, I have no issue with Canada. It is your presentation and constant berating of our country - the proverbial - pulling out our splinter in our eye while you don't behold the mote in yours) :)
Do me a small favour, Kenny -- Google "speech control Canada" and see how many hits you get.

Please report back -- we'd all like to know you're not just making things up.

For the record, I am as free as any American, anywhere, in every way that I wish to be.

Then you just be happy. Algorithms are set and not controlled by what you type.

Having personally spoken to a Canadian, viewpoints differ according to who you speak to.

Is your question disingenuous or simply dumb? I am referring to the author of a specific tweet informed by the content of that tweet.
Only two options is a fallacy.

The specific tweet is a Democrat - there are a 1 million others that changed too. So, just who were you calling those name to?

WOW! My goodness. You spoke to a Canadian, personally? All by yourself? Somebody you know (and therefore likely to have some affiliation with your views, perhaps)? And now you know all about what nearly 40 million Canadians think!

I AM UBER-IMPRESSED WITH YOUR RESEARCH CAPABILITY!

Canada's Constitutional freedom of speech.

Fundamental freedoms – section 2
2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:
  1. freedom of conscience and religion;
  2. freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;
  3. freedom of peaceful assembly; and
  4. freedom of association.
Under section 2of the Charter, Canadians are free to follow the religion of their choice. In addition, they are guaranteed freedom of thought, belief and expression. Since the media are an important means for communicating thoughts and ideas, the Charter protects the right of the press and other media to speak out. Our right to gather and act in peaceful groups is also protected, as is our right to belong to an association like a trade union.

These freedoms are set out in the Charter to ensure that Canadians are free to create and express their ideas, gather to discuss them and communicate them widely to other people. These activities are basic forms of individual liberty. They are also important to the success of a democratic society like Canada. In a democracy, people must be free to discuss matters of public policy, criticize governments and offer their own solutions to social problems.

Even though these freedoms are very important, governments can sometimes limit them. For example, freedom of expression may be limited by laws against hate propaganda or child pornography because they prevent harm to individuals and groups.

So, Kenny, I ask you. How would you fare by posting (say, right here on RF) an essay promoting child pornography, or urging members to take up arms against the United States and go and attack the Capitol again. I mean, surely you are perfectly free to do so.

Man, you are something.

And you spoke to all 40 MILLION Canadians? Wow! you are literally amazing.

Why do so many more Canadians (45,000) immigrate to the USA each year than people from the USA (7,500) immigrate to Canada? Are there more opportunities, economic or otherwise, in America? - Quora

It's amazing how many people hate the US as much as you do, so they move here to hate in person?

Kenny, I truly wish I could understand what drives you. You might consider, however, that as a person who is in his 75th year, and who probably speaks to many, many hundreds of people every year, and who has gone to town hall meetings and political events and all the sorts of social and political and entertainment and other group activities that we humans do, I probably surpass the ONE Canadian you mentioned by at least a couple of orders of magnitude.

Tell yoiu what, though -- instead of talking to each other (as I've tried) why don't we go with your preference, and trade web links. Well here's one from me. (The difference? I'll use News and authoritative sources, you'll use opinion spots like Quora, assuming, as you always do, that opinions that agree with yours are authoritative and probably scientific).

Also, where in the US are Canadian immigrants moving to? Looks like mostly evil commie California:

"I can no longer remain in today's Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness," Gabbard said "who divide us by racializing every issue & stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are … hostile to people of faith & spirituality, demonize the police & protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war."

^ disgusting dog-whistles on twitter courtesy of opportunist political scum.

I think that ideally, the free movement of people the earth is probably a good goal, but as for the nuclear war stuff, I think that might be pretty real. The fact is, they have built massive underground bunkers, and you can read articles, and watch videos about what they got. And I think those probably aren't there to save jayhawker or the ideogenous_mover, they are there to save high ranking people, from any party, who obviously have further plans for survival, whether there are people left to represent or not. So if they want war, someone has less stake in that game

Which actually, I'm not sure if I can respect very much, no matter who is in charge. If there is to be a nuclear war, I think I would respect leaders who actually went down with the ship. When you read ancient myths and histories, or deep in the bible, it seems that often, any given king often died in war, if they failed. They didn't go live underground, and wimp out. When the romans went to gaul, the celtic king stepped out in front

Well that's not what is happening. They are going to wimp out, and live underground, whether there is anyone left to represent, or not. And I think that also takes hubris, because it is saying that you deserve survival via innocence - that you didn't make enough mistakes, supposedly, to cause the chain reaction that would land you in that situation. That even though you survived, that doesn't mean that you goaded the opposing power, or made missteps yourself, that led to such a situation becoming the reality
