Direct action gets the goods, especially in a growing fascism here in Canada. Durring the last election, approximately 24 % voted for the conservatives and 38% did not vote at all. The non voters are the true winners in the last election and those taking direct action better represent Canadians wants and desires then do the neo-fascist Harperites. voting advocates can cry all they want but the fact is the first past the post voting system in Canada is an oppressive tool of control to keep the populace unengaged and the system has become irrelevant. with that being said, the people found a way out of the prison of the first past the post ballot box system in a way that can effectively take on the tyranny of Harper and that way out is to take to the streets and parks and occupy everything.We the people are building direct democracy and some may prefer the tyranny of the current electoral system: to those folks, I say, join us. your perfered system of governance is oppressive exploitative,tyrannical and antiquated. It time you step out of the past and into reality

 

Not only is the first past the post system highly oppressive, but it is also a system of voting within the context of a parliamentary structure whereby the privy council can veto any bill adopted by Parliament. Both the voting system and the parliamentary structure prove themselves to be even more undemocratic by the fact that we live in a society where economic power buys political power.

 

taken by itself, this equates to a triple whammy in our governance system but when you add the continual hollowing out of what democratic institutions were left in Canada when Harper got his first minority and the fact that Harper is content with  continuing and expanding this program now that he is dictator, you've then got a recipe for absolute fascism. It is time we take direct action,occupy everything and stop the Haper Fascists!!
