2013 Tours range in length from 9 days to 2 months across Canada in the spring, summer and fall.

You have intrinsic rights that the Government does not want you to know about- learn them!

2012-06-07T17:45:24Z

You have a wealth of intrinsic rights and a share in the commonwealth. The Government of Canada is a Corporation that does not willingly recognize or uphold these rights. Do you know the difference between a Human Being and a legal Person? Do you know the difference between Law and Statutes? Did you know that Canada has been Bankrupt since 1933? Do you know why the Government continually violates human rights (ie. Montreal student protests), and how they get away with it? Educate yourself as to who you REALLY are. Apathy is boring, but ignorance is even worse. Check out Dean Clifford on Youtube, and visit Eternally Aware on the internet.
Free yourself from ignorance and slavery. If you think I am full of it, do yourself the favour of conducting proper research before you judge my statements as false.

Solution démocratique - signez le mode de scrutin proposé par le MDN

2012-06-02T17:50:24Z

Le mode de scrutin actuel ne permet pas une réelle démocratie et le MDN propose de le remplacer par "Solution démocratique", un mode de scrutin proportionnel mixte compensatoire qui intègre des mécanismes pour améliorer la représentation sous toutes ses facettes.

Ce mode de scrutin a la capacité de faire consensus puisqu’il tient compte des consultations publiques et des analyses des dernières années. Le MDN invite la population à endosser avec lui le mode de scrutin proposé, ou à l’appuyer dans ses grandes lignes www.democratie-nouvelle.qc.ca/actions/appuis.php, afin que la proposition devienne la propriété de la population. Le mode de scrutin proposé peut être consulté sur http://www.democratie-nouvelle.qc.ca/actions/docs/detaillee.pdf et http://www.democratie-nouvelle.qc.ca/actions/docs/resumee.pdf.

Le consensus existe – faites-en partie!

Au 29 mai 2012, 509 personnes et organismes ont endossé le mode de scrutin proportionnel mixte compensatoire proposé par le Mouvement pour une démocratie nouvelle, et 165 autres lui ont donné un appui de principe . Une centaine d’organisations locales, régionales et nationales, regroupant plus d’un million de personnes de toutes les régions du Québec, et 25 personnalités publiques d’horizons variés soutiennent cette campagne dont :

o Michèle Asselin, Roméo Bouchard, Robert Burns, Jean-Pierre Charbonneau, Paul Cliche, Éric Darier, feu Gil Courtemanche, Élaine Hémond, Gérald Larose, Vincent Lemieux, Henry Milner, Gilbert Paquette, François Parenteau*, Myrlande Pierre, Magda Popeanu, Mercédez Roberge, Michel Seymour*; Laure Waridel.

o Centrale des syndicats du Québec*; Confédération des syndicats nationaux; Conseil central du Montréal métropolitain-CSN*; Fédération des femmes du Québec; Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Québec; Fédération interprofessionnelle de la santé du Québec*; Fédération nationale des enseignants et enseignantes du Québec ; Forum Jeunesse de l’Île de Montréal*; Front commun des personnes assistées sociales du Québec; Génération d’Idées*; L'R des centres de femmes du Québec; Représentation équitable au Canada (Fair Vote Canada)*; Réseau québécois de l’action communautaire autonome*; Table des regroupements provinciaux d'organismes communautaires et bénévoles.

Citizen-App Challenge

2012-05-14T20:10:06Z

As governments begin to open up their data sets for public use, the stage is set for citizen-led Innovation.

Do you have an idea to leverage government data for the public good? If so, we want to hear it! We're asking Canadians: If government data were openly available, what web or mobile application would you want built?

Join the Citizen-App Challenge and post your ideas today at http://egov.brainmaven.com. For more information check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H4jHQfPzok

No technical experience necessary (although if you've got it, flaunt it!) - all we're looking for is great ideas for ways that government data could be put to good use. If you don't have an idea of your own you can collaborate with others or vote up your favourite ideas.

This challenge springs from recent work Brainmaven has been doing with the Stratford Institute looking at provincial and territorial eGovernment and Open Government initiatives. You can access both reports through the challenge website (http://egov.brainmaven.com) if you are interested in learning more.

After the challenge closes on June 8, 2012, top voted ideas will be presented to the federal government's Advisory Committee on Open Government.
