      This implies most people will roll over and accept corporate fascism and foreign control to maintain their standard of living. Which is not necessarily false. But is that what you believe?

      I know, I know it would not be simple or necessarily beneficial in the short-term or maybe even the long-term. However, I’m tired of corporations being given all the rights of people, but never being treated like people in the legal system.

      A person skips a mandatory court appearance, or fails to comply with a court order? Contempt charges, and jail until they comply. We need to do the equivalent to corporations.

      Corporate equivalent? I dunno – freeze their assets immediately and embargo all sales activity until they comply.

          Right, whereas kowtowing to American car companies is turning out to be great for Canada.

            Totally. Your sarcasm was better than mine.

            But, in all fairness, we made deals before America speed-ran the fall of its own empire. We are still coming to terms with the idea that it’s not going back to the way it was, like the stages of grief.

      Uh… at every court hearing say that we are facing “technical difficulties” and are indefinitely postponing your court date.
