🇨🇭 Switzerland has a direct democracy

🇨🇦 Why does Canada not have a direct democracy?

“Switzerland will hold a vote (referendum) on measures to limit immigration to stop its population from rising from 8 million to 10 million before 2050, after enough signatures were deposited on Wednesday.
Under the Swiss system of direct democracy, citizens can initiate popular votes by collecting 100,000 valid signatures within 18 months.
The hard-right Swiss People’s Party submitted 114,600 signatures to the Federal Office in Bern on Wednesday – collected in half the time.
“Mass immigration continues its course with devastating consequences for our small country. Expressing concerns over “mass immigration”.

⭐️ The SVP emphasizes the need to safeguard Switzerland’s unique landscape, quality of life, and prosperity for future generations. This is a true democracy when borders are protected.

"Taylor's lawyer, Vinoo Varghese, noted that the case is a difficult one in New York, hinting at the leftist bias within NY courtrooms when it comes to the 2nd Amendment. In fact, Varghese suggested that when Judge Abena Darkeh took over the case she was oddly hostile towards the defense. He mentions that she interrupted his opening statements multiple times, claiming that he could not use 2nd Amendment arguments in her courtroom:

"She told us, ‘Do not bring the Second Amendment into this courtroom. It doesn’t exist here. So you can’t argue Second Amendment. This is New York.'"

"Odd as it might be that a team at JHU chose to create and launch a dashboard for an unnamed disease despite such low numbers of cases and deaths in so few countries, there are possible explanations for why they did so. Only 3 months earlier JHU had hosted Event 201, a “training tabletop exercise… based on a fictional scenario” of a novel coronavirus causing a global and deadly pandemic [5]. Furthermore, the lead author of the dashboard (Professor Lauren Gardner) is a specialist in modelling infectious diseases. Notwithstanding what these facts might suggest, the dashboard was, at least according to their own testimony, the result of a “spur-of-the-moment” decision and took “just a few hours” to build [6]. "

Hips and curves flattened, waists thickened, arms elongated, posture masculinized with a sort of hunched, bow-armed swagger—not to mention the alluringly feminine one-hipped jut is curtailed into an ambiguously butch slouch that has the weirdly uncomfortable medicated look of SSRI-induced anhedonia.

"In short: the characters have all been made to represent—or rather, promote—a misshapen trans identity.”
