Duncan’s a No-Show at North Island All Candidates Meeting. by admin http://www.ramblingfisherman.com/2011/04/wheres-johno-duncans-a-no-show-at-north-island-all-candidates-meeting/#comment-273 admin Thu, 14 Apr 2011 16:10:30 +0000 http://www.ramblingfisherman.com/?p=1203#comment-273 I firmly believe that if you have represented me in government, then you should go to these types of meetings and be accountable. You are right Pete, It is pretty sad that the candidate-elect can just blow-off an all-candidates meeting that was PACKED with VOTERS, yet all the other party candidates were there and taking it very seriously. The reason this makes me so mad is because I'm a Conservative! <strong>John Duncan here is the definition of democracy:</strong> Democracy is a form of government in which all citizens have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives. Ideally, this includes equal (and more or less direct) participation in the proposal, development and passage of legislation into law. Democracy: government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system. <strong>John Duncan, this is not what Democracy is:</strong> <strong>Aristocracy:</strong> 1. a class of persons holding exceptional rank and privileges, especially the hereditary nobility. 2. a government or state ruled by an aristocracy, elite, or privileged upper class. 3. government by those considered to be the best or most able people in the state. 4. a governing body composed of those considered to be the best or most able people in the state. 5. any class or group considered to be superior, as through education, ability, wealth, or social prestige. <strong>Duncan, stand-up and be held accountable stop politic'ing and do the job that we elected you to do, go to the meetings and take a stand on what you actually believe and let us the voters decide your fate.

John Duncan here is the definition of democracy:

Democracy is a form of government in which all citizens have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives. Ideally, this includes equal (and more or less direct) participation in the proposal, development and passage of legislation into law.

Democracy: government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.

John Duncan, this is not what Democracy is:

Aristocracy:
1. a class of persons holding exceptional rank and privileges, especially the hereditary nobility.

2. a government or state ruled by an aristocracy, elite, or privileged upper class.

3. government by those considered to be the best or most able people in the state.

4. a governing body composed of those considered to be the best or most able people in the state.

5. any class or group considered to be superior, as through education, ability, wealth, or social prestige.

Duncan, stand-up and be held accountable stop politic’ing and do the job that we elected you to do, go to the meetings and take a stand on what you actually believe and let us the voters decide your fate. That’s democracy.

It is pretty sad when the encumbent is to embarrassed to show his face at an open meeting. Says a lot about the way our government is run. I feel the same.

As a new Parksville resident I picked up fly fishhing two summers ago and started fly fishing the mouth of Nile Creek for Pink Salmons. Cheers! to the volunteers at Nile Creek Hatchery. My letter will be sent to the water district as well. This is the first time I have heard about this.

Quick note. I believe you first paragraph has a typo, it's on its on server, shouldn't it say "it's on its own server", spell check wouldn't pick this up. Glad to hear you got your guiding ticket....... Good luck Mike Hi Ian, nice site and look forward to watching it develop.
