But if we don't, where's "democracy"?

Oh, that's right, I forgot - in Canada "democracy" means we must not only tolerate but fund, support, and sacrifice any conflicting personal desires/principles/conscience as we endlessly prostrate ourselves before the "authority" of every "minority group" (read powerful-political-lobby-group-with-vested-interests) out there.

It means your "democratically elected" MP must vote the party line, regardless of his own opinions or the will of his/her constituents.

Or resign.

It means that Bills can be passed in Parliament aided and abetted by traitorous organizations; even Bills that blatantly disregard the stated desires of the majority of Canadians!

Nothing. Please pardon me. As a Canadian, I count for diddley-squat anyway. I'm not Sikh, I'm not Indian, I'm not gay, I'm not even a Quebecer ... but hey!   I DO have this lovely old Maple in my front yard that's calling me to sit under it right now, count my blessing and let it allllll goooooo ....
