If that's how it works, then a stable anarchist society is impossible. The first asshole that comes along with a bigger gun than everyone else will have it right back to a dictatorship.

Who has authority to enforce those rules? If no one, then how do you resolve disputes in a civil, yet binding fashion?

Never understood the thought process behind these sovereign citizens. Let's say you accept the initial premise that they are their own country not subject to Canadian laws... aaaand you've been conquered. And are now subject to Canadian laws.

I did a similar diagonal route across Canada. 84 hours it says.

23 hours is about as high as you are going to get while maintaining a (relatively) straight path. The north is not really accessible by road.

Edit: I take that back. I managed to get up to 27 hours driving from the Ambassador Bridge to Windigo Lake.

One example does not prove a trend.

Plus, I'm just talking about perception, not the reality of the actual political leanings of every single Carhartt customer.

Wait, Carhartt is a stereotype of the left wing now? I've always associated it with very blue collar, outdoors type work. The kinds of jobs that you wouldn't typically associate with left wing extremism.

Well yeah. That's why there's any legal punishment at all. Being bad at your job otherwise would just get you fired.

I'm not arguing the merit of the law itself, I'm just saying that doing something that you know to be against the law is inherently going to generally get you a harsher punishment than causing harm via negligence.

To this day, hearing the words "badger", "mushroom", and "snake" will often be enough for me to get that song stuck in my head.

Intent is part of the law. Yours was a crime committed with intent, her's was a crime committed by negligence.

The most annoying part of this is that even if he quits wasting our oxygen, it's "too close to the election" for the Senate to do their jobs and confirm the replacement.
