MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: FORMATION OF THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC REFORM BLOCK...

So today we celebrate the 138th birthday of our great nation of Canada. Yet while I sing the national anthem I reflect on the past year in politics. And as I reflect, the anthem becomes more like a prayer and a haunting memory of how far our country has strayed. In hindsight I really feel that this past minority government has done nothing at all for Canadians. Within the past year especially, politics has dengenerated into a powerstruggle between oligarchist parties which have ultimately lost the interests of Canadians. There is no active peaceful concilation of different interests, as Bernard Crick calls politics. We see parties do whatever they can to stay in power: laundering money, stealing, and bribing/buying MP votes. I feel that the past couple of weeks have evidently shown that politics in Canada is officially dead. It is now obvious that politicians in Canada are not qualified and competent to be making decisions in the interests of the Canadian people, especially when they do not listen to them. I feel that the widespread alienation and distate found within almost all Canadians towards federal politics is a testimony to that.

And it is with this reason that I announce the formation of the federal National Democratic Reform Block. Though only in its grassroots stages, the NDR Block is for the peaceful return of Politics to the people of Canada. I have decided to name the group a "block" because I feel that the party system has been a contributing factor to the degeneration of politics that we have now come to realize. As a result, the NDR will stand for the end of political parties within federal politics. As a block, the NDR will work within the federal level to gain support to reform the parliamentary system in Canada to include a federal parliamentary system under the supervision of one or two philosopher-kings/queens. As philosopher-king, I will act as a voice of unbiased reason and infinite wisdom within the federal government, ensuring that the interests of Canadians are met.

Anyways, that is is it for now. I hope to meet with a number of people to find support and soon come out with a logo and manifesto. Until then, out.
