After listening to Ling Shizhe's intention, Andrew laughed and said to Ling Shizhe: "Ling, you don't have to worry about any taboos, as long as you are a Canadian citizen, you are eligible to participate in the election, as for her identity, it is not a problem, in the Canadian Constitution, there is no provision that the wife of a rich man cannot be elected." On the contrary, many voters are still happy. ”

"Willing? Why? Ling Shizhe couldn't understand it at all, "Aren't they worried that this will form a gate lord privileged force?" ”

"Gate Valve Privilege Force?"

Seeing that Andrew did not understand, Ling Shizhe explained: "In our country more than 2,000 years ago, it was a landlord force integrating bureaucrats, businessmen, and landlords, and enjoyed political and economic privileges. Politically, high-ranking officials were generous, monopolized political power, economically confined the mountains, occupied a large area of land and labor, and gradually became a secession, and gradually became a famous family. When they are too big for anyone to control them, they overthrow the government and become dictators themselves. ”

After listening to Ling Shizhe's explanation, Andrew drew a cross on his chest and sighed: "God, I really didn't expect that you China would have such a class." But you don't have to worry, first of all, the mayor is subject to the supervision of the voters, he does not have any privileges, and secondly, not only the voters will supervise, but the local council will also supervise the behavior of the mayor, and if something happens like what you said, the government will immediately enter the recall process, and before he threatens the state, he will remove him from all positions.

So, Ling, your worries are completely unnecessary, and your wife's mayor can't keep going, there will be an election every four years, although you can be re-elected, and there is no time limit, but an unpopular mayor can't do it, unless you don't want to maintain a good relationship with the townspeople. ”

Seeing Andrew looking at him meaningfully, Ling Shizhe understood that in a democratic country like Canada, a rich man is even more influential or powerful. No matter how much he tosses, he will not become the kind of privileged force that China did more than 2,000 years ago, because it is an electoral system, so every decision of the mayor must be made public to the public, so as to accept the supervision of the voters. Not only will the voters supervise you, but the local councils will also supervise you, and even the country's public security system will supervise you.

Doing something bad? Your plans haven't started yet. The state's violent apparatus will come to your door, and then you will face severe punishment from the law.

But no, the mayor is elected by the vote, and some department heads can be appointed directly, but the heads of violent institutions such as courts, police stations, and local armies, not to mention that a small town mayor can't appoint, and even the Prime Minister of Canada has no right to appoint them, these are appointed by the country's Supreme Council and the Military Parliament.

The separation of the executive, the judiciary and the legislature is aimed at avoiding the emergence of dictators. Prevent abuse of power.

The reason why there were so many privileged classes in ancient China, and even threatened national security, was that the ancient emperors and local officials were all set of legislative, law enforcement (executive), and judicial powers.

Throughout the history of the Chinese dynasties, isn't it the history of the struggle between the centralized forces and the centralized forces, starting from the first batch of wealthy nobles created by Liu Xiu in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, to the Three Kingdoms period due to war, a large number of peasants went bankrupt. Land annexation intensified, and although the rulers took some measures to alleviate it, the substantive problems were not resolved. Wei's Juntun and Mintun systems only temporarily alleviated the serious land annexation situation at that time. But in the end, it was stolen by the big landlords and big tycoons.

The most typical representative here is the Sima family, and in the end they took over the Cao family's world and established the Jin Dynasty.

By the end of the Tang Dynasty, although the gate valve system had declined, a new powerful force had emerged, that is, the feudal town. This is the fundamental reason why Zhao Kuangyin turned his dynasty into a "nest Song" and did not let the generals take power. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, in order to consolidate the absolute power of feudal imperial power, even the prime minister system was abolished and replaced by the national cabinet system.

The root cause of all this is the deformed state management system that integrates all rights. It stands to reason that China is the most suitable country for the separation of powers, but history has played a big joke on us, after the fall of the Manchu Dynasty, we did practice a separation of powers, but it ended in failure, and was replaced by the red regime.

Anyway, after learning that Li Li's candidacy for the mayor of Raccoon Town would not bring any trouble, Ling Shizhe's purpose of coming here was achieved, and before leaving, Andrew stopped him: "Ling, there will be no problem for your wife to run for mayor, as long as your wife does not make the townspeople complain when she is in office, she has no problem in continuing to be re-elected, but it will be difficult to participate in the mayoral election and succeed, so the best way is to let her retire for one or two terms and replace someone else, Then she goes to run for the Montreal City Council, which is the best option for her and for you.

In the future, how far your wife can go in the political arena depends on her own creation, the provincial councilor should be her best destination, as for the national councilor, it is not for ordinary people to go up. ”

Ling Shizhe stopped and asked, "Thank you, Governor Andrew, I will tell her if you have to speak, I want to ask, do you have a chance to run for Prime Minister of Canada?" ”

Andrew smiled and said after a while: "Prime Minister of Canada, head of state, that is the highest goal of a career politician, this is not only a matter of ability, but more depends on whether you have this opportunity." I don't have this opportunity, after my term is over, let's see if there is a chance to run for Congress, Prime Minister of Canada, hey, it's too far away. ”

Ling Shizhe smiled, Charles. Joseph. Clarke. Andrew probably didn't even expect that on June 4, 1979, he would be sworn in as the twentieth Prime Minister of Canada on behalf of the Progressive Conservative Party at the Prime Minister's Office of Canada, and announced his resignation less than a year after doing so, and his successor was the former Prime Minister of Canada, Pierre Brown. Trudeau.

It was Andrew's secretary Stephen who sent Ling Shizhe out. Harper, who is also a legend in Canadian politics, remembers Stephen. Harper will represent the Conservative Party as Canada's 27th Prime Minister in 2006 and will be re-elected in October 2008 and May 2011.

Stephen at this time. Harper was also Andrew's secretary, and after Andrew's resignation as Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Anderson. Harper began to move westward. In 1985 he became a Progressive Conservative for Calgary's Western Constituency. Hawkes's assistant began to really embark on the road to politics.

This future big man, Ling Shizhe naturally wants to make friends, when he leaves. Ling Shizhe held his hand and said seriously: "Mr. Haber, my wife does not have any experience in politics, if she is elected as the mayor of the town, I hope your experience can help her." ”

"Okay, Mr. Ling. I'm more than happy to. "Stephen. Harper was overjoyed.

is worthy of being the future Prime Minister of Canada, he has a seven-trick heart, he knows what it means, Andrew said to Ling Shizhe before, but he can hear it clearly, Li Li can't keep working in Raccoon Town, just looking at Ling Shizhe's expression, he knows that Ling Shizhe listened to Andrew's suggestion, and he will let Li Li retire after one or two terms in the position of mayor at most.

So who will fill the position of the retired mayor? No doubt. It must be someone that Ling Shizhe feels trusted, as long as he helps Li Li when she is the mayor and earns Li Li's trust, then he is the mayor of Raccoon Town after Li Li.

Although the town is the most basic political institution in Canada, it is also the foundation of the Canadian regime, and if you want to make a name for yourself in the Canadian political arena, the experience of running a small town is indispensable, which is beneficial to his future political development. You must know that many Canadian prime ministers in history have served as mayors of small towns when they were young.

Ling Shizhe actively wooed Stephen. Harper, in addition to the fact that he would later become Canada's national prime minister, also hoped that Li Li would use Harbour's political wisdom. Go further in Canadian politics, if luck is blown, it is not impossible for Li Li to participate in the Canadian Prime Minister election one day in the future, even if she loses the race, she can also open up an upward channel to the prime minister's throne for her successors.

Let his wife run for the Prime Minister of Canada, what a big breath. Ling Shizhe has such strong confidence? It's not about how strong Li Li's ability is, but at CCS, a Chinese Canadian mutual aid organization.

Canada is a country of immigrants, and the future of Chinese in Canada is a very large group, there have been many Canadian prime ministers in history who have been successfully elected, and CCS has played a key role.

CCS was born in Canada in the mid-60s, when no one thought that this small Chinese mutual aid organization born in a remote place would become a political force that no one can ignore in Canadian politics in the future, so when CSS came to the door, Ling Shizhe joined the organization as soon as possible.

His purpose in joining CCS is simple, he hopes to have something to rely on in this unfamiliar country.

However, Ling Shizhe himself was too busy, so he asked Li Li to attend various CCS activities instead of him. What Ling Shizhe didn't expect was that Li Li actually had the idea of entering politics with an unintentional move at the beginning.

When did this idea arise Li Li, Ling Shizhe didn't know, maybe this idea had been in place for a long time, but it didn't matter, when he knew that Li Li had this idea, he immediately launched an investigation into CCS, but unexpectedly found that Li Li had vaguely become the party whip of CCS, which means that the entire CCS organization was under Li Li's control.

Of course, Li Li was able to control CCS, in addition to the biggest external factor behind her, Ambrera, but also her own ability.

At that time, CCS was just a simple Chinese mutual aid group, although it had absorbed many successful Chinese people in Canada, but its organizational structure and management system were not as perfect as it was later, for example, he did not get in touch with the Chinese Mutual Aid Association in the United States, let alone establish a strategic alliance with the Chinese Mutual Aid Association in the United States.

It can be said that if CCS does not establish a strategic relationship with the Chinese Mutual Aid Association in the United States, there will be no huge influence of CCS in the Canadian political arena in the future.

This suggestion was supported by everyone, and the participants in the meeting understood very well that if the Chinese want to gain a firm foothold in the white world, they must unite, and the establishment of a strategic alliance with the American Chinese Mutual Aid Association can unite the Chinese living in North America to the greatest extent.

Li Li's suggestion made her an assistant to CCS Chairman Wang Chengen, and then Ling Shizhe asked Li Li to improve the current CCS organizational framework in accordance with the rules and regulations of CCS in later generations.

Wang Chengen, the current chairman of CCS, has no desire to win, seeing that Li Li is so active and very capable of doing things, he is also happy to hide and hide behind the scenes, so that Li Li can rest assured and do it boldly, so Li Li gradually took control of CCS in his own hands.

After taking control of CCS, Li Li moved the CCS headquarters to Raccoon Town, and then actively participated in various local charity activities, which made CCS establish a high social prestige in the local area.

Obviously, people's ambitions are drawn step by step, and when these are completed, Li Li is no longer satisfied with the status quo, she begins to have ambitions, a political ambition.

His wife wants to make achievements in politics, what can Ling Shizhe do? Help, win over Stephen. Harper is just his first step, and in the future he will have to figure out how to connect CCS with the Progressive Conservative Party and the Reform Alliance. Harper is the link that connects the three through him.

As for how to go in the future, we will talk about it when the time comes, and we will talk about it first.

At that time, it is not impossible to consider combining the three into a large organization. (To be continued.) )
