    Out of curiosity, what kinds of things would a federal government have done to make you feel this sense of pride you’re looking for? Are there any governments anywhere that have accomplished that task?

      A real charter of rights and freedoms, and a government not composed of people who think their job is to continually erode year by year every citizens’ rights and privileges. There’s a few out there like that, not many.

        Based on the track record of the US trying to roll back rights at a federal level and make them handled on a state level, wouldn’t we be basically in the same boat of our rights being eroded?

        Honest question, have you thought about joining an organisation locally that advocated for the changes that you would like to see? They say the first step to change is local change. I know municipal and provincial government is less buzz worthy but it impacts people daily a lot more.
