        What if there was a country where 51% of the population was one religion, 49% another religion, and we had the system Canada has?

        The majority of the population forms the government.
        Now what happens if they want to do ethnic cleansing...

        Hmm

            That's why we have a constitution. Trying to rig the electoral system so that every minority group has an equal say in government policy leads to insanity rather quickly...

              We're used to it by now, really.

                What good are constititions and other agreements, like say a certain 1930's agreement, when the government can ignore them at will?

                    No, but we've got other agreements that, in this case, gave control of resources to some provinces, and when the federal government wanted to, it ignored that agreement and took control of the resources again and kinda shafted that province for 5 years until a new conservative government came in and repealed it.

                      I'm not sure if the federal government can ignore the constitution at will. The provinces certainly can, though.

                        Chretien's cool. I like the gun registry and the electoral reform.
