Why voter turnout matters. ⇒
13 November 2006, early afternoon
"The political disengagement and exclusion of lower income communities and immigrant communities has a devastating effect of the amount of attention and funding that those communities receive. The disproportionate amount of higher-income white voters has resulted in a homogenous City Council that reflects one single narrow demographic. The article supports having an ‘educated’ white professional government looking after a city of immigrants, which is nothing less than a rehash of the same arguments that have been used to justify endless forms of colonialism and racist viewpoints for too many years." Damn.
This is a post from my link log: If you click the title of this post you will be taken the web page I am discussing.
To be devil’s advocate:
If Canada is governed by well educated white professionals and = nice place to live.
And other countries are governed by not well educated white professionals = not a nice place to live…
Is the system wrong, I don’t feel very colonial or racist in Canada.
Obviously the idea is to have more representation from intelligent and reasonable individuals of varied races…but that’s not very “devil’s advocaty”
