One of the 18 had rented a storage unit up the road in Newmarket. His job was to purchase and store fertilizer. That was his "lone wolf" job. The other 17 had their specific roles in the terrorist plot. 1/2 of the 18 were Canadian born the other 1/2 were not. I think we've progressed very far from those witch hunts. We don't burn them at the stake anymore. Even though if we were taken by one or more of these terrorist... we would be.

Rather, I define it as a set of rules of behaviour, reflecting a broad consensus within the society, that is binding on even the most powerful political actors in the society, whether kings, presidents, or prime ministers. If rulers can change the law to suit themselves, the rule of law does not exist, even if those laws are applied uniformly to the rest of society. To be effective, a rule of law usually has to be embodied in a separate judicial institution that can act autonomously from the executive. Rule of law by this definition is not associated with any particular substantive body of law, like those prevailing in the contemporary United States or Europe. Rule of law as a constraint on political power existed in ancient Israel, India, in the Muslim world, as well as in the Christian West."<br /><br />We seem to be governed by a rule of ideology and not a rule of law.<br />Laws are being created to support the ideology of one man, and do not reflect the broad consensus of society.<br /><br />That is our curse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-79673678076394606102015-02-16T21:02:55.852-05:002015-02-16T21:02:55.852-05:00
