Democracy Gone Astray

Democracy, being a human construct, needs to be thought of as directionality rather than an object. As such, to understand it requires not so much a description of existing structures and/or other related phenomena but a declaration of intentionality.
This blog aims at creating labeled lists of published infringements of such intentionality, of points in time where democracy strays from its intended directionality. In addition to outright infringements, this blog also collects important contemporary information and/or discussions that impact our socio-political landscape.

All the posts here were published in the electronic media – main-stream as well as fringe, and maintain links to the original texts.

[NOTE: Due to changes I haven't caught on time in the blogging software, all of the 'Original Article' links were nullified between September 11, 2012 and December 11, 2012. My apologies.]

Job prospects decline in Winnipeg

WINNIPEG — The short-term prospects aren’t looking so good for Winnipeg job-seekers, according to the latest monthly help-wanted index report from the Conference Board of Canada.

The board said April’s index, which is based on the number of new, unduplicated jobs posted on 79 job-posting websites in Canada, was down in Winnipeg and 17 other Canadian cities.

Only one metropolitan area — Kitchener-Cambridge-Waterloo — showed improved employment prospects. Prospects were stable in the other seven cities surveyed.

The board said labour markets also remain tight in Western Canada. A tight labour market means the ratio of unemployed workers to available jobs remains low.
