This Blog will discuss politics, government, corruption, police, S.I.U., courts, education, min. of attorney general, min. of labour, v.o.i.c.e. and other current and past events of interest to concerned citizens. In the "About me" section to the right and down I have included the names of persons whom I have tremendous respect for. Their influence on me however has been primarily environmental (and personal) and this is therefore a disclaimer that all words posted on this Blog/Website are mine and I alone am responsible for them. I say this with the greatest respect and affection to my friends.

CORRUPTION IS SYSTEMIC HERE IN CANADA



Last Saturday's Woolwich Observer has an excellent Editorial by Steve Kannon titled "We're cottoning on to the fact corruption is systemic here, not just elsewhere". Transparency International is a Berlin based organization concerned with corruption worldwide. They have just released their 2013 Global Corruption Barometer and the findings especially as related to Canada are astonishing. Basically they survey 1,000 people in 107 different countries around the world in regards to their perceptions and opinions of corruption in their own country.

Clearly Canadians while still quiet and polite know what is going on around them. Politicians, courts, police and judicial systems do not have the public persona they think they have. Canadians know that when it stinks, that something is rotten and it's usually at the top. The really scary thing is that Canadians confidence and trust in our governments are rapidly plunging. Democracy can not survive forever based upon past deeds and behaviour by our governments at all levels.
