Idealistic Pragmatist: One of several options

http://idealisticpragmatist.blogspot.com/2008/12/one-of-several-options.html

Resisting the pull of cynicism since 1969. Friday, December 05, 2008. One of several options. Was the Governor-General wrong to prorogue? Hell if I know. It seemed like a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" sort of situation, and there really was no good choice. Harper should not have asked for it, that much is certain. But what's done is done. Us the parliament we vote for, but we still have the possibility (and, I would argue, the responsibility). I've never had a lot of faith that these things wil...

Alberta politics painstakingly probed. An alberta report editorial collective collaboration. Friday, November 20, 2009. BC Liberals Criminalize Homelessness. 11/20/2009 11:57:00 AM Posted by The Tone. BC's Gordon Campbell Liberals passed two controversial bills this legislative session, both unfairly, unreasonably and probably unconstitutionally targeting homeless and other marginalized people. And both just in time for the Olympics.but that has nothing to do with it (wink, wink). Offences, like assault ...

Idealistic Pragmatist: MMP and me

http://idealisticpragmatist.blogspot.com/2007/09/mmp-and-me.html

Resisting the pull of cynicism since 1969. Saturday, September 22, 2007. It occurs to me that some of you may not realize that I wasn't born a statistics-spouting, FAQ-writing, electoral reform geek- I was made that way. This post is that story. For them- it actually produced policies that most of the country agreed with. What a wonderful thing this 'parliamentary democracy' thing was. Program for the benefit of the rapidly democratizing East Germans. Your ballot has two votes,. And then came the results.

Idealistic Pragmatist: NDP policy convention redux

http://idealisticpragmatist.blogspot.com/2006/09/ndp-policy-convention-redux.html

Resisting the pull of cynicism since 1969. Monday, September 11, 2006. NDP policy convention redux. Intense. Exhausting. Exhilarating. Frustrating. Brilliant. That was the NDP policy convention in Québec City, in a nutshell. Oh, and did I mention intense? I'm getting ahead of myself, so I'll back up. Be forewarned, though, that this may well be the longest blog post ever written, so you might want to fix yourself something nice to eat before you dive in. And a francophone transgendered woman named Michel...

Idealistic Pragmatist: On the backroom

http://idealisticpragmatist.blogspot.com/2008/12/on-backroom.html

Resisting the pull of cynicism since 1969. Thursday, December 04, 2008. Consider this: When people in the same party get together to talk about plans for laws or governance or strategy, we call it a caucus meeting. But when people from different parties do exactly the same thing, we call it a secret backroom plot. Is that really the message we want to send to the people who govern us? Wall off the parties and make sure no one leaves their bubble? Posted by Idealistic Pragmatist. There'll be a new Throne ...

Idealistic Pragmatist: In defense of proportional representation

http://idealisticpragmatist.blogspot.com/2005/09/in-defense-of-proportional.html

Resisting the pull of cynicism since 1969. Tuesday, September 20, 2005. In defense of proportional representation. It was inevitable, I suppose, that someone was going to come out and blame the crazy results of recent elections in Germany and New Zealand on that gosh-darned proportional representation. And if it was inevitable that someone. Was going to do that, then I suppose it was equally inevitable that that someone was going to be Jeffrey Simpson of the Globe and Mail. Finally, Simpson attempts to m...
