A blog to give a voice to our concern about the continued erosion of our democratic processes not only within the House of Commons and within our electoral system but also throughout our society. Here you will find articles about the current problems within our parliamentary democracy, about actions both good and bad by our elected representatives, about possible solutions, opinions and debate about the state of democracy in Canada, and about our roles/responsibilities as democratic citizens. We invite your thoughtful and polite comments upon our posts and ask those who wish to post longer articles or share ideas on this subject to submit them for inclusion as a guest post.

Weeding the Garden
"You have to tend to this garden of democracy,
otherwise things can fall apart fairly quickly. And we've seen
societies where that happens,"
Former president Barack Obama
And we have now seen how quickly that can happen by
simply looking to the south of us, no one should think that we here
in Canada are immune from the kind of democratic decline that
electing the wrong leader can bring in just a few months. With a
provincial election coming shortly to Ontario and a small war started
by politicians to the west be careful which weeds you allow to
flourish.

Well and succinctly said, Rural.
Thanks Owen, elsewhere the rhetoric seems to be drowning the common sense!
