"This column is dedicated to the proposition that Canada (and indeed the world) is in a crisis situation and that fundamental social change is required to remedy this situation." - The First Column, Lambda November 2, 1971 This blog is inspired by my column of the same name in the Laurentian University Newspaper, Lambda, from 1971-1973. The title refers to the concept of subverting the system from within. To read key excerpts from those columns read the first few posts in this blog.
On this election eve Thanksgiving Day we can give thanks for living in a democracy and having the right to vote.
Perhaps some day we will be able to elect a House of Commons that represents the wishes of Canadian voters and reflects how they voted.
For more information on Canada's antiquated electoral system see Fair Vote Canada.
