Interesting conversation on the parliamentary espionage affair. One takeaway is that a post-national state, by definition, cannot have a conception of national interest or national security. Thus, it gleefully tolerates the intolerable. It dares not even utter the T-word.

Makes sense in a way.
On a personal level, what does he really have to lose by sticking around? His marriage is already done, he's already unpopular, and he has a massive trust fund to fall back on. Hell, sticking it out lets him play the "I fought to the bitter end" card when he writes his memoirs in 10 years.
I haven't heard anything about him that makes me think he's a "party first" kind of guy, so I doubt he cares too much about the future of the LPC.
"We" were so close Lumber, "we"
(Yes I'm including you in this...one day you'll look back on all of this and go "Oooooooohhhhhhhh...I see it now!" So I'm including your future self in the "we" here...)
Probably misogynistic too... because why not?
Oh oh oh, and Marxist!! Because why not?
The T word? What is the T word?
I realize that at some point, humanity will have to unite as one world - and that one world, we may not have a purpose or place for national borders or national governments
But today isn't that day.
And I certainly don't want a global society to be built from the likes of Bill Gates or Klaus Shwab, or someone like Chrystia Freeland...all 3'8" of her...
A post nation state will literally take generations to accomplish, and it won't work. Even if there is a global government, it will inevitably have to administer it's affairs by regions. Those regions will have names. If the region is big enough than it may break down into further regions...it doesn't matter if we call them factions or territories, we've circled right back around to where we are at now
Now that we've experienced what becoming a 'post nation state' feels like (spending unfathomable amounts of money to accomplish nothing, running up deficits as high as possible so a huge chunk of money has to be paid in interest annually rather than be used to actually build the country, a government hell bent on destroying the idea of a single family home, turning away friends & allies desperate for our natural gas yet we say no because there is no business case, constant scandals because the rulers don't give a shit, etc etc)
Now that a lot of the west is currently experiencing what being made into post-nation states feels like...good luck ever using that term ever again...

A global government means the end of democracy, of philia. It is synonymous with eternal tyranny.
Generally speaking, multi-ethnic "democracies" are in fact ethnocracies, where the most populous or well-organized ethnos rules. India is probably the best example. Another example is the below graph, which shows the most popular party amongst French Quebeccers is the least popular amongst non-francos, and vice-versa.
Or yet again, this map of Texas:
From this, one gets a sense of why Democrats are so eager to let in millions of illegals, then giving them the right the vote.

Bill C-59 is yet another attack on freedom and one of Canada's most important industries, by the very people who govern this country.

Religious, ethnic, cultural, etc differences will all have to be scrubbed away first, unless totalitarians impose themselves.
Progressives are more fond of adding layers of supervision than conservatives, and progressives are currently dedicated to assigning people to religious, ethnic, cultural, etc bins. They are actively militating against a prerequisite condition for "one world" consensual government.
There will always be people who don't want to go along, and when people in charge become impatient with people who don't want to go along, the people in charge always pull the police state lever.

Between C-11 that promised to "promote Canadian content online" yet didn't mention the words 'Canadian content' even once in the bill, the Online News Act, the Online Harms Bill, and now this...making it illegal for an industry to promote itself or tout anything positive about itself...how much more authoritarian can we get?
This is so the industry can't tout how many people it employs & how many families rely on that industry for a solid income, prevents the industry from sharing its work in restoring work sites, and they can't publicly share advancements that make the industry cleaner (something that will be coming up soon as EV's get shoved down our throats)
Is there honestly no mechanism in Parliament that prevents shit like this from ever becoming more than a bad idea in someone's head?

His Majesty is very well aware of his role in our constitutional monarchy.
His vice regal representitive, who wields the Reserve Powers on his behalf, can act to stop this, (either by prorogation of Parliament or refusing Royal Assent, essentially vetoing the Bill before it can become an Act).
As it stands, however, the Government was elected by Canadians, still holds confidence of the House (barely), and has a legitimate mandate to govern. Any interference by the Crown at this point would be extremely unlikely and would be heavy-handed use of the Royal Perogative.
We're stuck until we get the chance to change the diaper, I'm afraid.
