[Kirkhill]

Lawfare. Lawyers, no laws.

There are no immutables in Canada.

I continue to believe that Alinsky's Rules for Radicals constitute the terms of engagement between BRICS and the G7, or more broadly the OECD.

I also believe the key element is rule number 4, make your enemy live up to its own rule book. This ties us in a Gordian knot.

Alexander cut the knot.

Trump is every bit as disruptive as Alexander. We may have to wait a couple of millenia to find out if he was great but he has the advantage of tossing rule books out the window to the discomfiture of allies and enemies alike.

We have rule of law; we just have too many laws favouring administrative sabotage.

All these people gifted mission command....what is the intent?

Good administrative law has a defined beginning and end. So people having to interact with it, can see where it applies and where it does not and can make decisions based on that. Detractors of this call it a "Loophole", when clearly the legislators did not intend a blanket enforcement, but one tailored to a particular circumstance.

If people are working the loophole then the law is probably functioning as intended. A partcular course of action is promoted.
