    Good for you, but never loose faith, the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, sometimes you may have to wear tinted glasses but believe it, it is greener.

    So your plan is to just keep running away from things? Right, got it. That will sure fix everything.

    And I really fail to see how you are contributing at all? You just jump on someone’s thread to tell everyone they are wrong. Go make your own contentious thread!

    THIS.

    This is the hardest thing to achieve. We all start rowing in the same direction. Until...

    That is when we splinter and become less efficient in our goals, and lose all sight of what we're actually aiming for.

    But to get back on point. Your O.P. is encouraging folks to join (IMO) the enemy. Same team different kit. Politicians really don't give a flying fig about us when they acquire their power, settle into their 'roles' and play at running our country, spending our monies, and sending pour children to die in illegal wars.

    Last time I voted was back in the 80's. A snot nosed kid who knew everything. Supported Thatcher for 3 reasons only. i, F.ck the IRA ii, F.ck the argies iii, wouldn't be bullied by Scargill and his cronies. The first two turned out to be mis-informed jingoistic and possibly racist overtures, the third purely because Scargill wouldn't condemn those that killed that bloke in the taxi on his way top work. My point is, it took years to realize I was lied to, by something I 'believed' in...

    Personally, I'd be all for storming parliament with a few hundred thousand like minded citizens and giving what for to the whole bloody lot of them. But then again, Canada has never had revolution.... Yet? peace.

    Possibly. But staying put, taking the same sh!t decade after decade has got you where exactly? On an Internet forum, anonymously posting for / against all 'n' sundry. Still getting up, going to work paying your taxes and complaining. At least I am complaining about different subjects, however abject or unreal they may be to others. My kids have had a far better start to life in our years here than we could ever have wished for in England. So, YES. It has fixed everything we were concerned with in the UK, and later Manitoba. Thanks for the clarification and concern. peace.

    I haven't stated the thread is contentious, and by your very own admission, maybe YOU need a lesson in comprehension as I haven't told anyone they are wrong, incorrect or otherwise... I do however stand by my statement that "democracy" and the "democratic" process is flawed and highly irregular...

    You are so right but this is not the time or place to debate your views, most here will not understand where you are coming from, your views are radical for Canada, at this time, but I understand them.

    Yes, far from perfect, but a lot better than some. I would like to see a lot of Parlimentry reform, for example, time is long overdue for a triple E senate, equal, elected and effective.
