You're thinking of the Schengen area. What I proposed is basically how Ireland and Cyprus work. They're part of the EU, but not the Schengen area. So to get into them you have to go through border checks, but EU citizens can live, work, study, retire, vote in local elections there, etc.

You could have border checks and still allow Americans and Canadians to live across the border without a visa

I see the Vancouver police don't consider it an act of terrorism. I assume there's no apparent motive then? Just a lone twisted individual

By the mid 19th century American judges had become so incredibly corrupt that judicial elections were introduced in many states. And they did work for a while in choosing better judges. But then political parties realized they could game that system as well.

You could say it's similar for Canada. It's clear that if you're voting Liberal this year, you're voting Mark Carney for PM.
Maybe not a "pure" 2-party system but there have only been Liberal and Conservative governments and Canada doesn't do coalitions.

You can think it's good or bad, but I was just talking about how it's seen in practice. Technically the EC chooses the 🇺🇸 pres, but no-one sees it like that.
Because 🇨🇦 has a 2-party system and a powerful PM, the leaders are more important than in 🇪🇺 where we have multi-party systems and weaker PMs.

That's not really "choosing the Prime Minister" though. That's more like "we don't like you, so we're having a new election".
Also, I wouldn't compare Canadian leader-centric democracy to European more party-centric democracy because the political systems and cultures are different.

You don't have to toss aside private insurance to achieve good healthcare. The Netherlands and Switzerland both operate 99% on private insurance. The difference is that insurance and healthcare prices overall are more tightly regulated than in the US, and the 'individual mandate' is strict.
