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.

Mossbank, Saskatchewan Out Of Water Due To Rupture In Main Water Line

MOSSBANK, Sask. - A town in south-central Saskatchewan has gone from a drinking water advisory, to having no water at all.

Warnings went out to residents that a boil water advisory would be in effect Monday afternoon for Mossbank, about 145 kilometres southwest of Regina.

That's because crews planned to make some repairs to the town's pumphouse, but then a main water line ruptured.

Town administrator Cynthia Kimball says it's not known how long the town will be without water.

Residents were given one hour Monday night to fill their tanks and are being reminded that all water used for washing or consumption needs to be boiled, once water is restored to the area.

Farmers who got water from the town's bulk tanks are now being re-routed to Assiniboia.
