Proclamations and wishful thinking will not stand the grinding touch of time and the entropy. Now not only a trivial observation but a factual reality in the pocket. The time for these changes is long overdue. There's no time or space for delays and procrastination. Canadian political system has to be updated and brought to the current best standard of responsible and functional democracy of the 21st century. 1. Proportional representation 2. Full transparency and accountability of governments 3. Effectiveness and efficiency standards in the public service 4. Ending the practice, tradition and system of bureaucratic entitlements and privileges. Without thoughtful, intelligent and resourceful ability to respond to the challenges of time, the writing is on the wall. There's nothing more to prove here: it's playing out right before our eyes. The only possible chance that we have to be able to implement all those things you mentioned above is that we must stop voting for left wing liberalism and NDP socialism. Those two isms are the reasons why Canada has become a woke and broke country. We need a real and true conservative government in power to try and change those isms i mentioned above that have and still are destroying Canada today. Otherwise, i can see no change for the better happening at all. Canada should be one of the wealthiest countries in the world, but instead, we have become a woke and broke country. 🤗 Quote

So where amongst these is the exception SNC Lavalin enjoyed when it lobbied the government to prevent its criminal prosecution? Note there is little to nothing in Canada's access to information laws in the rules aside from a potential a slap on the wrist to prevent corruption. You'd think it could at least mention the x on ballot remedy often touted as the only remedy around here. Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

A clear majority voted in favour. The second referendum was designed to fail with three options including two that had TBA components to them. Indeed, the bar in BC is meant to fail any referendum here in BC. 👎 Quote

LO And you're a lickspittle who's happy with what you're been given. A happy contented mushroom. You seem downright offended at the thought of anyone asking for more. The article I posted that indicated we're actually being given even less must tickle you pink. It's a wonder there's so many organizations dedicated to making governments more accountable in the world. I bet lickspittles organize like this as well to demand more secrecy but probably behind closed doors. Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

Oh right, its because I express doubts that an x on a ballot every 4-5 years is all we need to keep our government above board and squeaky clean. LMAO! I didn't say that. You don't express doubts. You express a willingness to sacrifice yours and everyone else's prosperity, sanity and safety. The green agenda. The woke agenda. The open borders and soft on crime judiciary. 1 Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.

You don't express doubts, you come out and out say that we should be keep voting for those who are corrupt. You say there's no value in punishing these parties for their corruption. And you blame Harper for Justin's Behavior because he didn't try hard enough somehow to pass laws any of which Justin can remove and did in many cases. And where he didn't remove the laws he got caught by them which you say proves that they don't work somehow. Everything you say paints a clear picture that you don't care about corruption as long as it's liberal corruption. 2 1 Quote

myata Posted February 13 Author Report Posted February 13 In a multi-party system, that has meaning only with proportional, every vote counts, representation a citizen disenchanted in one party can choose any other, from a dozen or more. In a binary one, they are forced to sign to the alter ego one. It is not a rational choice anymore, but that of despair, choosing not the option that is best but between two bad ones. Will you choose a meh contractor over a bad one for a serious renovation job? Or would check a long list for the best one? And you think politics, managing our public assets is less important? This system is grossly inadequate to this age. It erodes then destroys democracy. Modernization is not optional, it's a matter of continuation of democracy and the rule of law. Not a theory - observe it in real time next door. Quote If it's you or them, the truth is equidistant

Not a theory - observe it in real time next door. All of that is complete bullshit. What's your proposing is a method to let radical individuals have actual power without having to support a very many people. You want to see a repetition of the NDP liberal coalition that has basically run our country into the ground except you want it to be slightly worse. The system is absolutely fine in this day and age. Radical communist losers who can't even use plain English say otherwise because they wish they'd have more clout then they actually do Quote
