“I am opening my eyes to the possibilities that social change might bring. I have an inkling as to the realities of the world, but just as communism has never worked properly, some contend that under the right circumstances it might.”
However, you haven’t exactly given me any clear guidelines onto what “social planning” is. At least with communism, there is a clear “plan” on what to do given the situation (except for consequences foreseeable only in the future). Also the possibilities of social change are there, but to what extent? But I’ll help you out. When my “Evil” Conservative side was still with me, I proposed the “Three Hits Law” (“Three Strikes Law” being taken already :P) where the punishments for engaging in prostitution were so severe, it would cause anybody rethink what they’re doing.
“Also a federal Quebec judge can establish a precident on a case that a British Columbia lower court judge would have to adhere to (or risk the case later being overturned). My source on this is a Queen’s bench judge (second highest court to the appeals court).”
Well you Canadians are interesting types. Usually, LA (or CA for that matter) never adhere’s to any decision by another State Federal Court (lower circuit?), unless it’s a supreme court decision. I such “important” cases such as underaged/child prostitution, the judge (or jury depending on the situation) will declare a miscarriage, appeal the decision, or overturn it (most likely).
