Democracy Gone Astray

Democracy, being a human construct, needs to be thought of as directionality rather than an object. As such, to understand it requires not so much a description of existing structures and/or other related phenomena but a declaration of intentionality.
This blog aims at creating labeled lists of published infringements of such intentionality, of points in time where democracy strays from its intended directionality. In addition to outright infringements, this blog also collects important contemporary information and/or discussions that impact our socio-political landscape.

All the posts here were published in the electronic media – main-stream as well as fringe, and maintain links to the original texts.

Feds to unveil $10M in anti-terror projects

The government will unveil details today of the first six counter-terrorism research projects to be funded as part of a $10-million commitment made nearly a year ago to mark the 26th anniversary of the Air India bombing, Postmedia News has learned.

Last June, Prime Minister Stephen Harper unveiled a memorial to the 329 mostly Canadian victims of the doomed flight in Montreal and launched the Kanishka Project, a five-year, multimillion-dollar investment in new research to prevent terrorism.

Postmedia News has learned that the winning projects follow an initial call for proposals.

Public Safety Minister Vic Toews and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney will announce the first round of funding today.

A second call for research proposals recently closed and a third call for proposals is set to close at the end of October.
