   I spend summers in Newfoundland where I am now.   
      
   There are places where government is both small and voluntary. They exist even   
   in Canada. Unlike Canada's single payer government health care, this gets no   
   attention from our press. A local service district (LSD) is a unit of local   
   governance in the    
   Canadian province. These provide and finance (through local taxation) limited   
   services such as water supply, fire protection, street lighting, animal   
   control, planning and development services, garbage disposal, in some cases   
   sewerage, and cost-sharing    
   with other areas. Officials are elected. The 'Mayor' might be a fisherman who   
   performs his duties for no pay. So it is with the Treasurer. When the water   
   supply system needs repair or attention assigned people fix it voluntarily.   
   Other tasks or functions    
   are performed by contract with other entities. How much more 'libertarian' can   
   it get?
