This should NEVER have reached a court. Some Stats-Can incompetent needs to go to re-education camp, out in the desert.
Given that so many Canadians side with the Democrats down here in the arguments about Obamacare being 'settled law' I imagine that you'll find yourself in the minority. It would follow that these same statists would throw their grandmothers into a wood chipper if Parliament passed a law saying that this was supposed to happen.
Look at my signature for the quote from Stanley Milgram. He noted an unusual component of the Canadian character was to comply with authority even in circumstances where such compliance would cause the (perceived) death of an unseen individual.
Don't get me wrong,
Milgram's experiments showed that most Americans would have made acceptable guards at German death camps but he also noted that Americans were more likely to defy authority on moral grounds than were Europeans or Canadians.
His studies were and remain controversial because the results have been shown to be repeatable in other studies and because those results lay bare some uncomfortable truths about human nature and the dangers of blind compliance with authority.
In the case of this woman all that should occur here is a bit of common sense where a census worker could fill in the form on her behalf and be done with it. The US Census Bureau permits their workers to do the same because every ten years there's
several million people who refuse to fill out those forms.
This has nothing to do with delivering a ostensibly fatal shock to someone sitting in another room. Why must you always turn a policy debate into a ridiculous life-and-death violent analogy?
Not every policy discussion has to involve reopening the Nazi death camps or gang rape or gruesomely murdering our families.
