Democracy is not the plaything of the few. It does not cater to the elites. And the People should not pay attention to those who don’t like democratic results. Democracy has not failed us. We may have failed democracy.
The Alberta Miracle
Gun bans are illegal because they target law abiding gun owners. If government wanted to reduce crime, they'd go after criminals. Instead, they choose to confiscate private property without compensation. You know who else used to do this? Communists. Alberta is a force for good in Canada. Alberta defeated the illegal gun grab of central government showing us all that people can speak truth to power. A true Alberta Miracle.

The Cryptocurrency Bubble
Cryptocurrency: the latest fad. What it means to the hoi polloi? Why building a computer is hindered by the scalpers buying GPUs right, left and center to mine cryptocurrency on their digital farms. Why financial bubbles burst? The folly of cupidity.
