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.]

Tories will survive, says Sask. senator

The federal Conservative Party and the Canadian Senate may need to change, but both will survive recent "bumps in the road," says a Saskatoon Conservative senator.

"Things were done that were improper, but everybody's trying to make these things into major scandals. They are not. These are bumps in the road," Sen. Dave Tkachuk said in an interview with The StarPhoenix Sunday from his Saskatoon home.
