Why the Law Matters More Than Politicians

Why the Law Matters More Than Politicians

🔎 What He Really Meant

1️⃣ “Politics is stupid.”
Politicians on both sides (blue tie = Liberal, red tie = Conservative) don’t actually care about regular people. They care about power, votes, and protecting themselves.

2️⃣ Don’t follow politicians — learn the legal process.
Instead of trusting promises, it’s smarter to understand the laws and the system (Charter of Rights, Constitution, Supreme Court). That way, when government crosses the line, you know exactly how to hold them accountable.

3️⃣ “They’re fing you, so you can check them.”*
Governments constantly push limits, break rules, and overreach. If people don’t know their rights, they get away with it. If citizens do know, they can fight back with complaints, legal challenges, or court action.

4️⃣ Blue tie, Red tie — all the same.
Liberal or Conservative, it doesn’t matter. Both bend rules. What matters isn’t the party, it’s the law.

🧭 What We Can Learn
• Charter of Rights and Freedoms → Canada’s main rights document (free speech, religion, equality). But it’s not absolute — governments breach it often, and it has to be tested in court.
• Legal Process → Anyone can challenge government actions, but it’s expensive and slow. Knowing your rights helps you spot violations early.
• Power of Law → Politicians can flip sides overnight, but the written law can’t be changed without a process.

👉 Bottom line: Don’t put your faith in politicians’ words.
Put your strength in learning the law — so you know when they’re breaking it.
