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.]

Rusty Onowakohton Nolan ~ 7 Iroquois Communities sign HISTORIC DOCUMENT REJECTING the FNEA

The Education Act will prevent our culture and religion to be used as examples in our children’s education. The act will cut funding in many areas in education and will be periodically monitored by outside agents.
Right now the project Truth & Reconciliation is happening across the country and you would think they would begin to recognise laws like the FNEA to be criminal.
Make sure we all take note of this event, because it is a historic event now unfolding. We are united once more and are now stepping into our own vessel. Will Canada help us on our way or prevent our canoe from going upriver on its own? The answer will come from each of us as citizens of Canada and First Nations. Seeing that Canada and First Nations are partners in this country wouldn’t it be expected then that Canada receives an Education Act from First Nations as well? Interesting …
Again our youth have a huge voice in this and should be consulted. They should have some input on the discussions about what culture and religion is available for them to learn. I feel that both cultures are who we all are and we must embrace that. Learning is an awesome skill we have and we would be limiting ourselves if we do not explore each others cultures. To achieve a better understanding of who our neighbours are will be the key to moving forward together as a proud country.
