Canada's Role in International Affairs

Fatmomma, I like our system too. I would like an elected senate. I know what you are saying about the political situation in BC and it is a shame. No matter what side of a debate you are on, we need both sides to voice their opinions strongly to make sure we keep the other side of the debate in check.

But, Canada has sided with anti-democracy on this issue. Yesterday, in the house of commons, Bill Graham said that the government decision on Iraq was in sync with public opinion.

But one of the most important checks in a democracy is a check against mob rule - that's why we have leadership.

Mob rule is not democracy.

"Mob rule is not democracy. "

What a cliche - if we don't have the same opinion as the US, we are considered a mob, otherwise its called democracy?

in sync means it is the same/together
Where do you get mob rule ?
Do you think a governments decision is mob rule just because it is the same as its citizens? That is how democracy is supposed to work.
