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.

DUFF CONACHER OF DEMOCRACY WATCH



The following caption and quote comes from the July 27, 2015 Woolwich Observer. They are quoting Duff Conacher of Democracy Watch.

caption: Duff Conacher of Democracy Watch says the federal Liberals promised reforms are just the start of what's needed to make politicians accountable to the public.

VERBATIM

"Voters should be skeptical of politician's promises, and even if the Liberals made all the changes they promised, everyone in politics and government would still be allowed to lie to voters, politicains would still be allowed to make money from their decisions, secret lobbying would still be legal, wealthy individuals would still be allowed to use money to have unethical influence, whistleblowers would still not be effectively protected, and enforcement and penalties would still be too weak to stop wrongdoing."

And there you have it folks in a nutshell. Mr. Conacher has hit the nail on the head. democracy here in Canada is still a sham for the above reasons and more.
