Current SPG Directors Jim Moen, Bert Vandenberg, and Shawn Buhr apologize to the Board and candidate

Cole.... Please tell me how to convert a link to posting the actual picture like you have done. I would appreciate learning that trick today.

Both pictures should be against the law.

The second picture results in a hospital visit(s) that the taxpayer gets stuck for.

The first picture does even more damage as naive people are subjected to propaganda that only says that three of the existing board of directors have decided that they personally want to see those candidates as their comrades. In the same way they may have sigficant influence on every other board decision; to the point that we are subjected to yet another dictatorship fifedom.

While there may be issues in pulse board election process, those issues pale in comparison to the robo calls mis-directing voters to the wrong polls in the last federal election. The Tories have some bad apples in their ranks that should be removed.

The integrity of democratic institutions in this country are being seriously eroded by the current Federal government. What is the point in electing MPs when Harper pushes wide ranging 400 page Omnibus bills through Parliament with little debate in the house or at committee.

The only reason to do it is to avoid Parliamentary scrutiny and the public spotlight. Another indication is their refusal to provide information to the Parliamentary Budget Office on spending cuts.

It is so easy to criticize what goes on a few hundred plus miles from home.

Those same persons who recognize and criticize it far away; always seem a lot less courageous when they might make eye contact with the neighbor; the reeve; and the mirror.

No... the problem gains its foothold much closer to the home and with individuals.
Just like prostitution. All forms of it; but you either are or are not selling out; and it should be known for what it is; no matter the location or service provided.

Oneoff. I agree with most of what you have said. Mismanagement and conflict of interest should be challenged wherever they exist. However the jurisdiction of municipalities is very limited compared to other levels of government. The impact of problems at the federal and provincial level have a far greater impact on the lives of citizens. Lower levels of government are in fact a responsibility of Provincial governments.

I find it very interesting that many of the supporters of the current federal and provincial governments are willing to turn a blind eye to the erosion of democracy as long as their party has power. This is a reason why ruling parties get away with so many dirty tricks because supporters won't demand that they act fairly and responsibly.

I am interested in your list of dirty tricks that lead to the erosion of democracy.

Although I am a redneck conservative, always have been and will be, I do not donate to any party as I believe their salaries are disgusting.

And I am also willing to call my MP if there is some erosion going on. If you write they have to answer. Although usually its a pretty shitty answer.
