I have read the Declaration of Independence. All should do the same. Fascinating read. Canada is still very much a British Empire colony, which offers the illusion of freedom while maintaining the subjugation of the citizenry. No doubt it would be far more draconian if America had not overthrown the British. The same is true for the other colonies, like Australia and New Zealand. Freedom is just an illusion, and that is their intent for America as well. Of course, they will back down again if the patriots manage to secure control of America. Right now, the Empire has been emboldened by the loss of freedom in America. They figure the revolution is now over. That remains to be seen.
