At the end of the Podcast, you brought up the issue of the Khalistani immigrants from India. Some of this group (I suspect a small miniority) is refusing to integrate and is choosing to use thier wealth to buy influence in the Canadian Polical system in ways that do not benefit the rest of us.

There is another group that is also refusing to integrate, and to even talk about them is to be called names. You referenced the Middle East conflict, and this group is dead center in the conflict, but we cannot name that truth even though most of the group has one foot in Canada, and one foot in the Middle East.

Great interview, Julius. The government continued recreating itself reminds me of Escher’s “Drawing Hands”. You break it down nicely into its various components. It’s a spiral of decline as noted by Canada’s most famous philosopher, largely unknown by Canadians.

James Corbett divides the world into UP & Down.

My riding is mostly comprised of University Employee's, Civil Servants, and Middle Management in Large Companies. They all voted UP (Liberal), and gave us Calgary's only Liberal MP. These people if they want to get ahead in the world need to worry about how people above them in the UP see them. If they don't please UP, their career is over.

The Working Class, Farmers, and Small Business Class are all Doer's and Creators. They held thier nose and voted Conservative. It was not a "We love Conservatives" vote, but rather a vote against the Liberals.
