THE BASIC CONUNDRUM is this: nations talk about democracy
without anyone "really" knowing what are THE REQUISITE CON-
DITIONS for a nation to be a democracy.
Right off the bat, British Commonwealth countries are "blatantly"
NOT DEMOCRATIC because, like ALL FREEMASONIC RUN COUN-
TRIES (and these include France, the USA, Mexico), they have
ZEROFINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY, a "primary" condition for
being a democratic nation.
The other one is THE JUDICIARY has to be INDEPENDENT OF
GOV'T CONTROL: this means that governments CANNOT be
involved in choosing the judiciary.
OF COURSE, the People have to be able to "freely" choose who
to elect. This means, ALSO, they have to have "viable political
options" to choose from.
Interestingly, THE MAJORITY OF THE POLITICAL PARTIES in
Canada are financed by the Gov't + registered with Elections
Canada. (Ha! Ha!)
SO, is Canada a democracy? HINT: it's a member of the British Commonwealth. :D
