The defining element of a democracy is the will of the people to act together.

The "plethora of news items" is there to make online operations stronger not scarier.

Contrary to M.Dancer, I think there is nothing ridiculous in imagining a democracy penetrating into intimacy to such a degree that any adult member of a household feels a social duty to denounce another member trying to buy votes.

It becomes very easy (self-reinforcing actually) to estimate as soon as one becomes aware of the following concepts and their applications: consumer and producer surpluses, revealed preferences (and its statistical methods), truthfulness in auctions and mechanism designs, reflective equilibrium and the efficient distribution of the burden of proof in case of a breach of a social contract.

"If I were asked to answer the following question: What is slavery? and I should answer in one word, It is murder!, my meaning would be understood at once. No extended argument would be required . . . Why, then, to this other question: What is property? may I not likewise answer, It is robbery!, without the certainty of being misunderstood; the second proposition being no other than a transformation of the first?" (Pierre-Joseph Proudhon)

My mother was like Queen Elizabeth II to me.

That fact that no date was given for the removing of these outposts can means a surprise operation.

But Harper is not a new man.

It's not about working or not working here but about voluntarily or involuntarily working or not working.

It's a political forum! You can reinvent the world here! Don't take the tax code for granted! Come on!

Count on me for a similar ending.

The PM, ministers and MPs are all elected representatives of citizens.

Yes "history is written by the victors", but history shows no definitive capitulation of the vanquished.

It is essentially the Catholic authorities who decided to save Canada from being integrated to the US; here too, we have to look at the history of Catholicism in Quebec for all the unfinished endeavors it contains.
