Description

systemic: means as related to the majority of the political system, and not just one part, or person.

Either Canada or the US can be used as examples, however, the proof does not have to apply to both countries. They are options, not cumulative mandatories.

I thank Sir Lancelot for allowing us to kick this down a round because of timing issues.  This gesture will not be forgotten.  Thanks Lance.

I waited the maximum time possible, so my opponent wouldn’t feel the need to rush. 

Me and him waive the first round.

Okay, I look forward to having you return, Slainte. I’d really like to redo this debate sometime.
