CANADA: A Sense of Peril

Listening to this at the moment while resigning myself to going to work at another minwage-plus-4-percent day job tomorrow morning.

Quoth Dave Meslin:

"What's disrespectful about our voting system is that 60 per cent can vote against a particular party, then that party cannot only win, but win a majority of the seats. In almost every Western democracy in the world, if a single party takes complete control of a legislature against the will of a majority of voters, it's called a coup. And in Canada we call it an election."

I agree and yet Canada is trapped right now between the impulse this belief creates and the knowledge that the new fascist international is a real threat ready to pounce.
