America has a bipolar condition, so do (i). I grew up in Indiana. In 1970 my parents moved to Vancouver Canada. I was 18. One semester at Wayne State University. Two years after the 1967 Detroit Race Riots. The year of the Moratorium Against the War. Suddenly there I was in Vancouver Canada, long hair, no job skills, no work history, no personal network, but with 15 minutes of fame in Life Magazine. IMHO: At the time, Canada was 20+ years behind the US. They don't teach US history of the US, much less Canadian history and just recently I just learned that the Canadian Federation was formed in response to the American Civil War. Canada has seen this movie before and just walked out of the theatre. If you wonder what Canadians will do this time, read the July 4th essays at Icarus Flyby and the Rock from Mars.

Canada is a parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy operating as a federation. Established on July 1, 1867, through the British North America Act, it unites 10 provinces and 3 territories. Power is constitutionally divided between a central federal government and regional provincial and territorial governments.

The argument of this essay is that the United States constitutional order is a counterfeit safeguard operating at the largest scale in human history, and that this is not a recent corruption of a sound design but a property present at ratification
the system in question is not a democracy with problems but a closed loop — a control system whose feedback channels have been captured by the quantity they were meant to regulate — and closed loops of this kind cannot be repaired from inside, because every repair must pass through the captured channels.
Construction requires a site, and the argument here is that the site is Canada — not out of patriotic reflex, but because a specific convergence of constitutional inheritance, present federal policy, and unfinished national business makes this country, at this moment, the only G7 jurisdiction where all four subsystems of a democratic architecture are simultaneously open to design.
openings are not exploited by essays. They are exploited by institutions, and the institution this series has been building toward does not yet exist
Readers are entitled to ask whether it is real or rhetorical. A thing with a power budget or a thing with a vibe. The answer is called the Flux Capacitor, and this is its front door
