Liking Biking in a Faux Democracy with Fewer Schools

Three new publications this week: my Coast column, a Coast cover story/feature, and a cover story/feature for the NS Policy Review. The latter doesn't publish its stories online but I linked to its table-of-contents just for fun. You can read the other two by clicking on the pictures:

I liked both pieces. The biking one was quite upbeat. The other was more depressing. But true. What happened to politicians policing themselves? Of course the citizens should be involved but the politicos have to take some damn responsibility.

Thanks Charles. I guess public consultation is supposed to be a means of getting people more actively involved in democracy than just voting. But, I don't think it's working because most of the time it's not genuine.
