DO WE APPRECIATE DEMOCRACY?
No matter what we may think of individual politicians, Canada is a democratic country. As events continue to unfold in other parts of the world as people are craving their regimes to be over by demonstrating in the streets, do we as Canadians appreciate the freedoms we have? We can vote or not! As many people chose to stay home and not vote in all levels of government- a freedom that many in other nations desire. Our laws are exemplary and protect us. Our police and armed forces are there for us. We women have had the vote since 1917 and have not looked back. What freedoms do you cherish? What do you feel about our democracy? Do you love being a Canadian as I do? What are your thoughts?

There are all sorts of democracies in the world, none of which are completely perfect. I'm generally very happy with our representative democracy with its rights and freedoms.
