Canadian political terms iceberg EXPLAINED

"From coast to coast to coast" also notwithstanding clause

Forgive me if I have misunderstood, but don't the lion and the unicorn symbolise England and Scotland? These days, mostly England (as England is what Orwell's famous essay is about). But not English and French Canada at all.

I dunno… that's a lot of words I gotta remember.
I think I want to paint one of those pre-confederate houses soon. I hope no one ever tells me I should take a walk in the snow. 🥶

I think we should use "Patriate" more. As in, Canada has patriated donairs and perogies.

You didn't cover the basics of left, center, right

Interesting that we do not have the " good governance" espoused in the Constitution act and it's more used as a go around to mandate things the feds shouldn't be involved in .. I imagine Canadians of 1867 would be spinning in their graves at the audacity of our current political cluster F 👍🏼

Interestingly as to the treatment of 'Peace, order and good government', it was used as the delegating phrase as to legislative power in much of the Australian colonies at their founding, and is continued to be in use in most of the State constitutions to this day, but it has been taken to not be prescriptive. Rather it's more just a general grant of the power to legislate, without any requirement that the law comply with the description 'Peace, order and good government'.

The area of Yorkshire still uses Riding in the official title of its four counties but maybe not used as much generslly.

Dômiens (doomer in Quebec): A person whose a huge believer in Quebec big government, has basically slim to none critical thinking, display great amount of anti-americanism, hate anything about conservatism. Generally believes Quebec is a more morally or a better place to live than anywhere in Canada. Strongly believes in laws restricting the English language in public live to "save the french language againts the threat from the anglos". Generally believes that if you pay more taxes than anywhere else in North America, you get better and more services, which is a myth. A doomer is not economically savvy and believes the government should be involved systematically in peoples lives, because people aren't smart enough to make the best decision for themselve. Finally, a dômiens is described as being overly conformist toward any regulation or laws by the QC government. A dômiens doesn't see nor believes that something can be better elsewhere, he lives like in a dome.

Un dômien est une personne qui a des réflexes de conformisme excessif envers l'État-Providence du QC. Il démontre un grand anti-américanisme et généralement est haineux envers les anglophones. Il croit à un renforcement de la loi 101 pour "sauver le francais". Un dômiens est hostile à la droite en générale et est plutôt illétré économiquement. Il pense que l'État sait mieux que quiconque ce qui est bien pour la population. Le dômiens n'a aucun esprit critique, prendre toute ce que les MSM québécois lui disent pour du cash et à des réflexions socio-économiques très simpliste comme "On paie beaucoup de taxe ici, puisque nous avons plus de services de meilleur qualité qu'ailleurs" ce qui est un mythe puisque les services au QC sont de la calisse de marde!

I hope you get a better definition about what a dômiens is is Quebec.

Bro has lost so many subscribers lmao. Completely dead channel.

The etymology of "riding" that I remember from grade 9 or 10 Social Studies is that they were originally divvied up at boundaries of how far one could ride a horse in one day
Could be apocryphal, who can say?

nice vid. i'm more knowledgeable now. i can feel myself grow stronger.

little perturbed by a couple instances of AI-generated imagery, but the two obvious ones I'm guessing are stuff you found that was generated by someone else; if so, then all you're doing is "quoting" someone else's poster or meme, more or less.

I'm a little more unsettled by the background for the Long Walk in the Snow animation. I can't actually tell if that is AI-gen, or if it's just one of those really glossy paintings that did pre-exist this era of artificial generation. Just gives an ick now. Oh well.

Folks already did say the thing about the Declaration. But now I'm wondering what the actual equivalent phrase from the U.S. Constitution would be. Gonna crack that thing open and see rq.

P.S. ah, it probably would be the equivalent of the "necessary and proper" clause. The difference, based on a superficial reading, is that the legislative authority of the Monarch/Parliament in Canada is much more general and unrestricted than in the US, where Congress is allowed legislative authority only for the listed capacities of the federal government, plus "all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in [the U.S. federal government]".

In other words, the Congress can only make laws not specified if they are needed and appropriate for carrying out a specific list of tasks; whereas the King and Parliament can make any laws for Canada, as long as they're broadly "for" something nice 🙂 .

Hello JJ, my name is friends

"Minority government". I feel like in most parlimentary systems they either rule by Frankestein-esque coalitions, or minority-rule would be considered rare, shocking and controvesial (ie, "Hung Parliment"). Canada is unique in both how common it is, and how a certain portion of people actually prefer it

I think I have more often seen "confederation" used to refer to the process rather than the product (Canada). But now I'm unsure.

It's consistently amazing to me that, minus the french and the snow, Canada and Australia are the exact same country. I wish we had a stronger sense of fraternity.

No one is talking about JJ's execution

Is it just me or are you talking extra slow in this video?
