police
Police in a state with a working justice system are by rights considered paragons,
sworn to uphold just law and protect the rights of citizens. Under authoritarian
regimes, they become thuggish enforcers and assassins. Canada now lies on a
transition point between these opposite poles, and it would appear we’re headed in the
wrong direction – as new prisons are built, as TASERs are increasingly deployed to
front-line officers that have not proven themselves above torture, as old couples are
beaten at the border for asking questions. While undoubtedly most interactions with
Canadians are within the desired frame, while most officers are courteous and
professional, there is a shift in weapons and tactics that is being simultaneously
undertaken in Canada, The UK, The US, and elsewhere.

parliament
Canadians, take note. The federal parliament is the institution that exists to provide
representational government to the people of Canada – often by means of rancorous
debate, grandstanding, and partisan manuevering. This is by design. As in
parliamentary democracies throughout the world, cumbersome procedures and
carefully balanced legislative powers are a feature rather than a drawback of a
bicameral parliament: they exist to make it difficult for any would-be tyrant to make
sweeping changes to the fabric of the country, if guarded by a vigilant and loyal
opposition. Yet decades of apathy, corruption, bid rigging, and an expanding civil
service all weigh heavily upon our parliament, itself increasingly under threat by the
impulse to institute administrations capable of executing the wishes of the ruling party
with minimal interference. As access to information and accountability is choked to a
trickle under the control of a centralized corporatist executive, as global treaties are
increasingly negotiated not on the Hill but among the peaks of international finance,
the House is increasingly relegated to a vestigial status, a compliant rubber stamp
isolated from the decision-making process.
