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.

Direct Energy Cuts 500 Toronto Jobs, Moves To Texas

Direct Energy is moving its headquarters out of Toronto.

The move will probably mean the elimination of about 500 jobs over the next 12 to 18 months.

The company, which has its headquarters at Victoria Park Avenue and Sheppard Avenue East, will be relocating to Houston, Texas.

Most of the 500 jobs that will be cut will be corporate office staff.

The natural gas and electricity provider, which was founded in Toronto in 1986- is hoping to expand its operations across the United States.

Direct Energy will continue to employ about 2,000 people in Toronto who will mostly service heating and cooling contracts.
