As a Canadian I've always written to various members of Parliament about things that need fixing. Back in the old days I would get personal replies, hand signed on paper. You had the sense that they at least listened. The digital age has done away with all that. Since this bunch of WEF-programmed neoliberals have been in power, they have stopped even auto-replying. I guess the bribes from the Israel lobby and our southern overlord have come on condition of silence and looking the other way.

As a NATO "obligation", the Canadian military is 100% hard at work propping up the Waffen SS regime in Latvia, which is conducting a brutal ethnic cleansing of Russians and Jews in that little Baltic enclave that will never escape it's history or geography. This is the same crime that led to the disaster in Ukraine. Rinse and repeat?

Meeting at Davos, the Swiss Foreign Minister assures Lavrov that the Swiss are ready to act as mediators to bring end to the war in Ukraine. Of course, they have piled onto the EU sanctions as they were rolled out; somehow can justify not sanctioning the US for our many international sins; and failed to vote (as a new member of the Security Council) for an independent investigation into the Nordstream destruction. Now just after assuring Lavrov, they have again signed onto the latest sanctions package against Russia and announced their intent to draw closer to NATO. What are they really doing to stop the genocide in Gaza? Their biggest banks have gone from one scandal to another over the past two decades.

All that to say, indeed, there isn't a single real democracy in the West. I used to vacation with some frequency in peaceful, beautiful Switzerland--home of my ancestors. Well, I shall never enter their country again. I chalk them up with the other deplorable "democracies" of Europe.
