We've had that one for a few years. Usually claim to be the Internal Revenue Service (the taxman) with an arrest warrant. One told me "the constables" were already on the way to my place. I said "Better send some marshals with 'em." Constables.

There might be a few good reasons to treat one product, or one geographical or climatic region different from another, with an effect on the state or province that's heavily into that product. In that case, a smart national government makes compensatory moves or finds some other way to spread...

Well, yeah! That goes without saying. Quebec's been a pain in the ass literally all my life. Seems to me if English Canada (just the language, not a racial or cultural shot) don't want Quebec, and Quebec don't want Canada, an amicable divorce is the best solution. Might could end up as close...

Well, if Ontario secedes, that'd pretty much solve all the stuff I hear the Men of Westernesse whining about.

Thank you. This interests me because I look at it from an American point of view, and we have just about zero restrictions on interstate commerce. I'm minded to thing they're not good, absent a clear-cut and obvious need for them (what we call a "compelling government interest").

I'll check it out. I'm sure you know I'll decide for myself whether the stated reasons for the bill justify unequal treatment of the provinces.

Because we're slowly waking up to the fact that roads, bridges, power grids, pipelines, water and sewer systems, and suchlike need maintenance.

Don't you just hate it when immigrants come barging in and insist on imposing their languages and their laws on the people who live here?

So y'all got a running start. Good for you.

The OP seemed to suggest it was all a Great Big Communist UN Conspiraceeeee!

Yes, that kind of thing. I know that our states do occupational licensure individually. I'd like to know more about pipeline bills that don't apply equally, and what the reasons are for them. I'll look up the Wheat Pool.

A good first step toward equality and "one law for all" would be to establish a single national language for Canada. And both to mollify the Francophones and to prepare for the future, it should be Mandarin.

I mean formal or informal barriers to trade between provinces/territories within Canada.

Ah, I see. You and harry think that the settlement amount is the same as the initial demand.

Works for me, as a long-time supporter of Texas expulsion.

That is weird, and as you say, pretty fucked up. Can you give me a link to a site that could serve as a primer on internal trade barriers or other impediments to trade in Canada?

And wildly speculate on their motives.

So. . . you want to secede from Canada because you love Canada?

Clearly Justin Trudeau, Joe Biden, and the International Communist Conspiracy have complete control over prices in the market, and they're making us all SLAVES of the UN Conspiraceeee!

But Arbery moved toward them! He probably reached for his waistband, or took a fighting stance! And he was a "star football player," a group known for physical skills and violence! And he was no angel, y'know. Clear-cut case of self defense. So obvious the cops let them go and the DA...
