Lack of Democracy: |
|
Nipawin - April 2, 2001 - by: Mario deSantis | |
progressively curtailed |
As the justice system becomes a manufacturing enterprise to produce judgements on behalf |
of the big multinational corporations(1) so our democracy is being progressively curtailed. | |
|
|
fraud |
We have already pointed out of the no-fault approach of our own governments(2) and of the |
HRDC scandal. Now we have our own Prime Minister Jean Chrétien being suspected of | |
committing fraud against the public interest. Jean Chrétien is being adamantly supported by | |
honourable Herb Gray, Deputy Prime Minister, by honourable Brian Tobin, Minister of | |
Industry Canada, and by his own caucus. | |
|
|
tolerance |
Our behavioural civil standards are being lowered more and more all the times, and as a |
consequence the unethical and corrupt behaviour of governmental agencies and businesses | |
are going to be tolerated by the justice system. This tolerance has been evidenced by the | |
difficulties in granting punitive damages by the courts in the last few years. | |
|
|
integrity |
We cannot allow our democracy to deteriorate further than it is, and therefore we must |
re-establish the integrity of our public administration, the integrity of businesses, the | |
integrity of the Prime Minister Office, as well as include punitive (non-compensatory) | |
damages in the courts' decisions against the corrupt behaviour of governmental agencies | |
and businesses. | |
