Democracy Decline and Moral Meltdown

By Brian Rushfeldt

2004 Canadians are witnessing a meltdown.
Democratic freedom, and moral standards are being removed from society.

Today, May 18 shows us a meltdown event. The "election gag" law is the most recent violation of freedoms. Elections are about free debate of issues and even parties. But in Canada this is not so any longer. The Liberal government, Elections Canada, and now the Supreme Court have colluded to ensure most Canadians are oppressed by placing restrictions on "third party" election spending. Third party is a discriminatory term but one the above parties feel justified in using. Canadians are now categorized in this law and restricted in their ability to voice an opinion. Bill C 250 also did this recently.

There is a tie to these laws and other matters we have witnessed in this nation recently. Fraud, stealing, lies, unethical actions, cover ups, misuse of Parliamentary procedure and even misuse of the Charter.

Canadians need to ask the question about the character of those involved in these things. What personal character allows one to use injustice or commit illegal acts - and then defend oneself when exposed. What level of irrational thought and moral meltdown does it take to continue promoting those behaviours even after they have been exposed?

We should be asking questions about those person’s character. What are his or her foundational values? What – if any – actions would be objectionable to such an individual? Do they hold to any boundary for unacceptable actions?

We could ask also, why would there be so many people in leadership that fall into this pattern in recent times? Perhaps we need to look only at our educational system which is guilty of a type of fraud and lying. What is promoting "safe sex", evolution and "relative" values as fact and truth if not fraud and lies. Proof on all these issues show that to continue to "teach" this is promoting false information. So perhaps it should not surprise us that we are now reaping the rewards of teaching lies as truth. Those who are trained (perhaps I should say indoctrinated) in this system will usually continue perpetrating what they have been told to be true.

But it is encouraging to see more and more individuals being exposed. I could get specific, but it’s unnecessary. Media has covered many recent examples of political scandal, corporate crookedness, and personal destruction. And we will continue to see more similar news stories until society collectively realizes that violating basic moral values and principles produces negative consequences.

Perhaps political parties will wake up to this fact also. Recent exposures of corruption in the Liberal Party ought to exact a heavy price on the party. But that will only occur when people start demanding moral decency and honesty from their political leaders. Personal indiscretions by politicians should also have consequences. When a politician admits to stealing a valuable piece of property, but is not charged, society is clearly experiencing a meltdown of justice. Society is thrust down a dangerous path when the justice system turns a blind eye to overt criminal acts for some but not all. This clearly signifies a meltdown of morality and justice.

Our hope for a civil society remains with those who stridently oppose criminal and immoral behaviour in our political , judicial, business, and even spiritual leaders. We must replace leaders who have demonstrated their indiscretions with men and women of integrity, who will uphold a standard of honesty and decency for the benefit of all society.

Are you one of those who, through your inaction, will allow the meltdown to continue? Or, will you be one to raise the standard for ALL Canadians.

Election time is a time of testing the moral fabric of a democratic society. You can vote for men and women of standard and principle or you may cast your support for the continuation of decline and meltdown. Those who refuse to vote are casting their support in favor of the latter.
