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.]

Gargoyle: Tories warn "Everything we've fought for is at risk"

Fresh off a splenetic attack against Justin Trudeau over his terrorism-loving ways, the Conservatives’ fundraising campaign now turns to another enemy of the state: Big Union Bosses™, specifically Sid Ryan of the Ontario Federation of Labour, whom some on the right blame for tipping the scales against the Tim Hudak Progressive Conservatives in the last provincial run-off.

Today’s missive from Democratic Reform Minister Pierre Poilievre warns that unions are going to interject themselves in next year’s federal election to advance their “radical union agenda.”

This, to Poilievre, is tantamount to a declaration of war.  Five dollars, please!
