140. "We are a proud Democracy..."

VIEWS@10113 


“We are a proud democracy, a welcoming and peaceful nation and a country of open arms and open hearts. We are a nation of fairness, of justice and of the rule of law. We will not be intimidated into changing that…” (Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau)


___________________________________________________________________________

NOTE: What a beautiful experiment, showing random individuals among the average Canadian Citizen (i.e. types who require the bus for transportation) It may well be, as Mr. Trudeau indicates, a fair example of ALL our citizens.   

So then I ask, "When IS suspicion warranted? - "under the circumstances" (remember that most major phrase I am determined to receive an answer to?)

Let's look at the following fictitious scenario:
A cross section of differing Canadian types are waiting for the bus, myself, as well as the same young Muslim in white as per the above experiment included.   

A 'Person' joins the loosely grouped line-up. He/she is wearing a dark tuque, a kerchief covering most its face, a visibly filled back-pack, and an automatic rifle over her/his shoulder.

Although I notice a subtle shifting away demeanour by the group, some suspicious looks, several exchanges of questioning shrugs, no-one utters a word. I am finding this VERY interesting. 
Is this a 'Lone Wolf' in sheeps clothing? Curious, I amble up to the 'Individual.'

ME: "Is that an automatic weapon you're carrying?"
PERSON: Nods.
ME: "Did you know it's illegal to carry a fire arm - in public - in Canada?"
PERSON: Shrugs.
ME: "Why are you hiding your face?"
PERSON: Shrugs.
ME: "May I ask you what's in your back-pack."
PERSON: "Stuff..."
ME: I look around the curious group. "Stuff," I repeat. Everybody shrugs.
BUS-STANDER: "Maybe he's going to a party?"
2nd BUS-STANDER: "YEAH, it's Halloween; remember!"

Since everyone is so incredibly fair, understanding, forgiving, with not one ounce of suspicion, being one-hundred percent 'Democratic,' they all just smile, SHRUG, and delve back in to their mobiles!
Especially at Halloween, in a perfect society, polite Canadians don't ask questions...

Wishing everyone a "Happy Halloween," I leave the 'liberal' Democrats, deciding NOT to take the bus. With my right hand I wave a V peace sign, thinking: "What an amazing country I live in. Such wonderful, unassuming, pure thinking citizens! In the circumstances, all salt of the earth, I guess. "

I briskly walk towards the main Court of our land to attend my Divisional Appeal Hearing in front of a single judge, hoping to receive an explanation to my main question:

The Master decided, after some 2 years of Discovery:
"All questions or undertakings ordered answered have been found to be relevant and outstanding." "The above is fair and reasonable disposition, in the circumstances of this case."

I ask? WHAT WERE THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THIS CASE? to make the questions 'RELEVANT!' When DOES the time arrive to ask pertinent questions? Do we just blindly obey?

SINCE: "We are a nation of fairness, of justice and of the rule of law." (J.Trudeau)

I shall fly - at great expense - across this gloriously fair and just Nation, to meet up with one of the pillars of our society - an untouchable judge. His/her judgment shall rule on "the circumstances of this case." 
- Were the rules indeed adhered to fairly? Was I treated justly? 
If NOT: 
- Will I be allowed to proceed, and, with ALL REQUIRED DOCUMENTS long ago prepared and at the ready, prepare my claim for pre-trial?  Then, in fact, have my day in court?

Now THAT would be a miracle - in 'the Circumstances' - far removed from the average, unassuming, pure-thinking citizen!
