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.

Brad Wall Says BHP Potash Project Sign Of Confidence In Economy

REGINA - Premier Brad Wall says BHP Billiton's decision to invest US$2.6 billion in a potash project is a strong vote of confidence in Saskatchewan's industry.

BHP Billiton (NYSE:BHP) says it will develop the Jansen mine, although at a slower pace than previously expected and with the possible addition of a partner.

Wall says the Anglo-Australian mining company likes the geology and the economic environment in Saskatchewan.

Some financial analysts had said potash projects could be delayed after a Russian company threatened to pull out of a marketing consortium and prices plummeted.

Wall says potash can be a volatile industry and there will be some people who are going to over-react.

The premier says the Jansen investment is good for jobs and the economy.
