What do we want? DEMOCRACY!

WHEN DO WE WANT IT?

"Uh....sometime in the near future would be appreciated.  But if not...I suppose that's alright too...but we'd really appreciate the consideration."












Oh Canadian protests.  How civil and organized they are!  I still cannot get over the directives of the rally organizer.  In true Canadian spirit, he outlined the rally route then asked if the people at the back could kindly turn and follow the drummers - so you know, to avoid any confusion of sorts.  But hey, I truly admired this orderly conduct!  I thought it was a well orchestrated peaceful attempt to show some Canadian solidarity - for a change.

Despite my participation in this protest, I am ashamed to say that I am not one to actively (nor regularly) practice my civic duties.  I have often left my voting card in my mailbox, turned the channel when any political debates were aired, and often relied on hearsay news to get the down-low on parliamentary shindigs.  I have often felt the need to be more of an activist, but as we all know, our personal lives have a tendency of suckering us into this oblivion of anything beyond our immediate surroundings...thus despite my desire to be more...engaged in all things political...I have found myself isolated from the proceedings of our parliamentary system.  However, my immediate surroundings have recently been infiltrated by politically minded activists...namely, Mr. L and his family.  Thus, I currently find myself placed in a situation where two of my objectives happen to coincide: 1) to increase my civic duty participation 2) to integrate myself to said family.

Stay tuned, as updates of said objectives will be posted intermittently.
