The perfect statement “We The People” I admit there have been times just seeing those words have brought tears to me eyes and I am Canadian. The majesty of us the human species, conscious, aware, alive, in the universe.
Normally we consider this an American document of course. Now more than ever it represents a totally different group of people. Those people are us and them together, yes it includes them even if they won’t see we must protect them. If we turn our backs on them we are no better than the tyrants trying to enforce their will on us all. Those words were inspired because of tyranny, a reaction to abuse over time.
Today we people that see the oppression and the oppressed, the informed. We lead the fight we are border-less.
Its now the new We The People. We against the new hierarchy of technocratic power, economic power, moral-less power, border-less power.
The words We The People, inspired to represent the better world order of the day, and now the new day.

Listen to Brian Peckford on Bret Weinstein’s Dark Horse. While discussing the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, he makes frequent reference and comparison to the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. Bret talks about how extraordinarily far-sighted were the authors.
The “consent of the governed”, aka the will that “we the people” express, has to be a central concept in any democratic system. Government has no legitimacy without that consent and the accountability it entails, yet here we are, suffering various forms of tyranny.
The mandate of the people has often been abused by various authoritarianisms, not only by Communism. Yet “We the People” is still the starting point and legitimacy for any antidote to abusive power, anywhere in the world.
Yes! Been using this phrase (American in Canada). It is powerful. We The People!
