Thank you for this post. It takes courage for a political person to tell a story about themself that is unflattering, but shows someone else in a favourable light.
Erin. I just want to say, thanks for sharing this. A truly remarkable story and it shows what we could do if we tried to work together for all. Your writing by the way is always enlightening. Hopefully will see you at the Rebuild Ukraine conference. We got our second crop out, and learned some more lessons.
I’m of the opinion The West as a whole needs a brand new system — made in the 21st century for the 21st century using the following themes:
- simplicity
- standardization (silly humanity tries to accomplish the same goals a million different ways — pick the best and use it until a better option comes down the pipe)
- economies of scale
- free and open data for circular accountability
- basic income (AI and technology is going to create massive gains in economic output so can easily afford this)
I believe a federal - municipal system would be best. Mayors can be elected by their local constituents; then the mayors can elect a leader/dictator who has a great deal of power to push forward their agenda, with a veto mechanism to prevent them going off the rails (mayors have the vote for the veto, but make it high like 75% for example so you need a strong consensus to veto the leader).
Create a constitution made in the 21st century for the 21st century.
Create a system so good that everyone wants in as the benefits will be so immense that only fools will stay out (a better quality of life and economic outcomes). Could likely start this system in Canada and go after the low hanging fruit that is The Commonwealth.
The arc of humanity and civilization is unification — I believe we are seeing the late stages of nationalism (which is fragmentation and wars). I believe we must live through this chaotic WW3 era before my grand plan door opens.
Why didn't Murray condemn and correct record about the false mass graves conspiracy theory?
I had displeasure of hearing form his son who I managed to get to admit that Natives believed in land rights (property rights) and were warring over land/resources and were not peaceful. Sadly he was too dim to recognize his admission.

Thanks Erin, that's an amazing story. It gives us a great picture of Murray, and a model for how we can treat others, even in difficult moments.

Thanks Wayne. I will miss you at Rebuild Ukraine this year as I am in Europe. Glad you are growing the future. Look forward to seeing you soon.
Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for sharing the goodness of Murray Sinclair. And thank you for having the bravery to be vulnerable.
Thanks for sharing this. It's a positive story and advice for all politicians and humans generally. An example for all to emulate.
Well written and stated. Hope things are well.
