Geesus stop attacking people because you don't agree with them. And yes, I'm Canadian and have actually spilt my blood in defence of our “Democracy”. What have you done? And our wonderful country that sent us off to fight is hardly taking care of its wounded soldiers. We give billions to countries like Ukraine, while yours truly who was wounded gets little support from fellow Canadians or the Liberal government.

If Parliament is “we the people” and they vote to make decisions on every aspect of governance as your representative, how come them electing the Prime Minister is so offensive to you?

You're not paying attention. Where did I say that parliament electing the PM is offensive to me? What I am saying that the PM being appointed by non-elected members of the LPC is offensive to me. It's not parliament doing it, but the Liberal Party of Canada members voting for their next leader of the party, which is then automatically the PM. Helluva difference.

To be fair, the open southern border wasn't helping.

Parliament is elected, so of course they represent 'we the people'.

That's often NOT the case. Executives are looking at their share price each quarter. It's rarely about the 'health' of the corporation.

This is what my issue was to — unfortunately, I didn't see this post before removing Jellyfin server. Couldn't find this in the official help docs - so someone might want to add this to the help and quick-start guides.
