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.

Peter MacKay's Riding Gets $600,000 In New Projects

PICTOU, N.S. - Defence Minister Peter MacKay has announced that three recreational facilities in his Nova Scotia riding are getting more than $600,000 in federal funding.

The MP for Central Nova issued a statement Wednesday saying the money will be used by the Hector Arena in Pictou, the New Glasgow Marina and the Trenton Minor Sports Centre.

The money comes from Ottawa's Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund.

MacKay says the federal government has invested more than $400 million in his riding since 2006.
