A book with primary documents..... soon primary videos

Its not really about the engineering.

How many times have we seen the consulting engineer walk away from a public safety issue because "they were just a contractor", or "it was someone else's decision".
A complete abdication of why engineering became a profession.

No shortage of examples in BROKEN TRUST: A Cautionary Tale.
The most egregious examples are people in oversight positions.

You will have to apply for a book, not everyone gets one in the near future.

@rationalposts one of the first records i ever bought

@HanyaToderoff Canadians are not a polite country, they are just waiting their turn at the trough of corruption.
as long as it benefits themselves, they turn a blind eye

[Evan Vokes @EvanVokesMSc]

@StaceyMonette27 further to my comment, This was my prize last year

[Evan Vokes @EvanVokesMSc]

@RuleofLawCanada @terrynewman they will never poison their own well, but they will certainly poison ours

[Evan Vokes @EvanVokesMSc]

@StaceyMonette27 should have done something June 2025 during G7 but Canadians are too comfortable as long as the corruption benefits them

@CricketsMatter charlie has always been perverse

@ddsnorth @Kristinartz Turned out that metabolically potatoes were dynamite to me. I grew 200-300lbs a year, i had to stop. they are like their own desert. the best is frying good mashed potatoes with bread and onion for breakfast. wish i could still eat like that.

[Evan Vokes @EvanVokesMSc]

this is on my under development website. I didn't need grand conspiracies to end up with the problem. soon i will finally decide final arrangements and tell people but here it is....
I do not believe we as a group can disperse blame onto nebulous, unidentifiable entities to avoid local accountability. Casting aspersions on individuals or dispersing blame on entities solves nothing.

This distinction matters because my position isn't about defending the specific practices of organizations; Rather, I acknowledge their necessary structural existence as part of our current civilization, even while I aggressively critique their operations.

My book is not a purity test, but it documents many purity tests. Blaming a faceless entity prevents us from addressing the specific, actionable policies that need change.

When hundreds of individuals choose short-term personal comfort over their statutory duty, the resulting failure looks like a grand, coordinated conspiracy. But it is not.

@ddsnorth @Kristinartz sour cream whips in excellent.
the soggy potatoes solution is interesting, add starch to starch...

[Evan Vokes @EvanVokesMSc]

@TheBuckYouWill have you ever looked up 1933 enabling act.
thats what parliament approved so what ever the dictator says, goes.
the same gameplan as in my book, just "legalized"

[Evan Vokes @EvanVokesMSc]

@ddsnorth @HerDivineEye it was nice of the liberal party to supply a closing proof to my book this year.
they repeated the enabling act of 1933 and people never noticed...
they formalized the illegal processes in my book

[Evan Vokes @EvanVokesMSc]

@RuleofLawCanada in no way should a lawyer make laws or interpret laws outside intended purpose.
Hath god said is not a new problem, rather a very old problem with the same people being a problem

@shimjelly if i remember corectly, he was the lone voice of sanity at washington post till he wasn't

[Evan Vokes @EvanVokesMSc]

The modern monopoly aqueducts called infrastructure carry more than commodities essential for civilization. They carry Trust and public does not really trust aqueducts.
The public trusts the people responsible to ensure the commodities arrive; however, everyone understands the absurdity of a society where:

-the reports say the aqueduct is fine,
-the KPIs say the aqueduct is fine,
-the executives say the aqueduct is fine,
-the regulators say the aqueduct is fine,
---while the aqueduct is visibly leaking.
Which is why BROKEN TRUST: A Cautionary Tale’s recurring question isn’t:

Why did the aqueduct fail?
the real question is: 
Why were so many people rewarded for pretending it wasn’t failing

[Evan Vokes @EvanVokesMSc]

Aqueducts are not things of the past, the modern monopoly game of civilization is still moving the commodities people take for granted: water, electricity, gas and oil.

The macro-economics of infrastructure frames these massive projects perfectly: engineers see a technical challenge, but high finance sees a guaranteed, inflation-protected revenue stream via user fees and debt markets. Engineers tend to think of them as problem solving but finance thinks of them in terms of extorted user fees and financial instruments.

Canada and USA have a great network of aqueducts, this month alone NewYork state welcomed a new High Voltage Direct Current powerline, mostly buried under water in its journey from Quebec. Big money, big financial incentives for debt markets and gambling

Soon they will start the next most audacious phase "carbon capture pipelines", unneccesary from engineering but government troughs will be full of your money the finance markets will be trying to get a hold of.

@MDSebach the word subject extends to the method of control, subjugation

[Evan Vokes @EvanVokesMSc]

The death of professionalism has been going on for a long time.
Few people can connect the dots in time.
I only found out after there was no recourse. I don't understand your full picture but keep pushing back and sometimes you make a breakthrough.
BTW, lawyers don't work for you they generally work for ideology, you might need a better one to advocate for you. i understand this may not be an option but i can hope you find reprieve.

[Evan Vokes @EvanVokesMSc]

@RuleofLawCanada the poison of process, i know it well enough to know these people needed a chapter.
