This no-fault approach of governing along with the globalization of big businesses has further caused the alienation of governments from the people, and it has further stimulated an environment of corrupted behaviour where politicians serve themselves and their friends rather than serve the public. Peter Newman is fed up with the opportunistic behaviour of the liberals and has called them insolent for their institutionalized arrogance(2). Newman is also disappointed about our politicians and has stated

"Canada's most serious dilemma is not the calamitous state of our health care system, not the eternal problem of Quebec separatism, not the uneven tax structure, or the insane price of gasoline. It is the growing and almost universal disbelief that anything significant can be done to resolve the nation's problems through political action."

Whenever last year the provincial NDP and Liberal parties formed a coalition government by giving the finger to the Saskatchewan people, I called this coalition a 'private contractual deal' because I realized right away that this coalition was formed not to serve the people but to serve the governmental politicians(3). We have been writing quite a bit about our Saskatchewan politicians and in particular, yesterday November 8th, (published Nov.11) I wrote an article on the corrupted interpretation of economic indicators by Honourable Janice MacKinnon(4).

In the past, I have also highlighted how our own provincial government breaks the law and individual human rights, and this is why our government is 'unconstitutional.' More people are becoming disenchanted with our political and business elite, and the fact that we have proof that the Liberals exchanged job grants for donations(5)(6), and that they have a parallel private government(7) has prompted journalist Andrew Coyne to say

"We can talk about the impotence of Parliament. We can argue whether power is too concentrated in the hands of the Prime Minister. We can scold governments for wasting public funds, or using them for partisan gain. These are important matters, but they are not quite urgent. They speak to the need for reform. They do not suggest a crisis. But this does ...It calls into question the very nature of Canadian democracy, and whether we are governed by constitutional means."

As our democracy is being questioned, we must look beyond the political parties and exercise the full extent of whatever is left of our freedom: on November 27, don't vote for the party, vote for good people.
