It’s Day Seven ... time
to look back at the most read commentaries and stories of the week -- today also
marks the 848th post on this blog.
The first, regarding
democratic reform of our political system was from
May 25th, 2015 – it was entitled, “Political reform does not need to
wait until the next parliament; reform is an ongoing process”
It’s a theme that I have
often been vocal on ... and other writers who have kindly consented to contribute
their thoughts to this blog have occasionally done so as well.
Democratic reform of our
political system shouldn’t just be a string of buzz words that get drug out occasionally
-- especially when so type of scandal or controversy takes place. It’s something we should be demanding, it’s
something our elected officials should be thinking of at all times when new laws
are being considered and brought before the House of Commons, our Legislature,
or municipal council tables.
Is this something that
will improve the lives of Canadians ... does this make things more transparent
... who will this actually benefit ... the list of possibilities to consider is
long and lengthy ... and it’s definitely something that should be part of the
conversation when this Falls federal election takes place.
Political Reform?
Democratic Reform? Principled Reform?
How many of the posts from this week, leading up to today's 848th,
touch on those things?
