The most corrupt Police State in the West that has cost our economy hundreds of billions or more over the years. Last in Access to Justice in the G20 and these politicians tell us "it's bad but there is hope"!.

There isn't hope as long as we have Donald H's and Luizas of the world walking among us...


A number of MPs say Canada's democracy is under pressure on a number of fronts, thanks in part to the impacts of social media and extreme partisanship.

But the eight MPs who took part in a series of one-on-one interviews with CBC's The House over the summer also expressed a hope that changes to the Canadian system, and a deeper understanding of one another, could lead to better politics.

MPs from across the country sat down with CBC reporters for conversations in their home ridings. They aired as a special summer series on The House called "Backbenchers' backyards."

Many of the MPs said they're concerned about the role social media plays in democracy. Several argued it exacerbates differences and gets in the way of constructive conversations.
