      The system is what allows this evil SOB to not only exist, but thrive.

      Canada has a (decently) meritocratic system. While our version of bad AG’s can still find their ways into positions of power, they need to have a clear track record of good performance - including exonerating the innocent - in order to be promoted into those positions. Someone with a terrible attitude has much greater difficulty getting into such a position up here than with any popular-vote election that depends on a hoodwinked or biased electorate.

        Well our system has always relied on people not performing their duties in bad faith.

        Our system is breaking down because bad faith actors are being funded by bad faith billionaires.

        We desperately need to reintroduce shame into our society to make bad faith have some consequences other than profit.
