APEBC Webinar: Rise of the all-powerful administrative state

In Canada, the administrative state has become ubiquitous. It controls our lives in every conceivable way. It supervises speech, employment, bank accounts, and media. It controls property use, energy, industry, and commerce. It indoctrinates our children. It dictates our medical care. It controls the money supply, the interest rate and the terms of credit. It tracks, directs, incentivizes, censors, punishes, redistributes, subsidizes, taxes, licenses and inspects. Instead of a country governed by the rule of law, we are now subject to rule-by-law. Over time, we have become more like China than China has become like us. How did this happen? A long time ago, we made a constitutional mistake.
