bjre Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) Because although most people pay tax for the high salary and retirement benefits for the politicians, most people don't know such BILL, even after it passed, still most don't know it, until someday, some one get charged will he notice it and hurry try to find a lawyer and spend some more money. What is worse is, their kids be brainwashed when they did not even know about it. Trying to decode what you're saying here. A person breaks a law but the person did not know such a law existed. So the person gets charged and pays to hire a lawyer. bjre, just because a person doesn't know a law exists doesn't mean that law was passed in secret. Remember you're in Canada here, not in the old country. Did the politicians said that people has rights, and they keep said via all media that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy Democracy is an egalitarian form of government in which all the citizens of a nation together determine public policy, the laws and the actions of their state, requiring that all citizens (meeting certain qualifications) have an equal opportunity to express their opinion. But when politicians make new laws, why several people can decide it, and it can be passed when most people don't know it, and have to be bullied with those laws they don't even know? If most people don't know and don't care, why it is so important to make this law when there are too many other things need to fix? Is this so called "Democracy", or democracy itself is just a lie? Maybe politicians are just like cops, who love to catch single mothers and give tickets to drivers much more than catch murders.

g_bambino Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 But when politicians make new laws, why several people can decide it Because, like most other democracies on this planet, we're a representative one, not a direct one. and it can be passed when most people don't know it There's no requirement that a bill be passed only when it's proven that a certain percentage of the populace is aware of it. Any member of the public can look at what bills are on the table in parliament and even follow the debates on any particular bill. Quote
