The value of small groups is they can focus on achievable goals then bring to the public eye for integration (or not) into the bigger picture of national culture.

Canada was built as a Christian nation (C of E) but has transitioned to secular law. That is what allows us to be diverse. And yes Bernier being from (language law) Quebec is ironic to me. I think of the uselessness of the traditional meeting where everyone just promotes their and no decisions get made because of poor information. But when small groups with specific interests form, they can agree on a focus and present information. Sometimes smaller groups split off but, over time, I do think there is a gradual coming together of ideas. It just takes a lot longer than "laying down the law" and is a better way of ensuring people buy in.

The more I find out about US voting, the more I understand why people don't vote. It would be exhausting to make an informed vote on every single position up for election. From federal representatives to state to local and even sheriffs and judges? I guess that's why parties affiliation is so important and shortcut.
