Canadian columnist Paul Albers, from Ottawa, joins our team today as a regular columnist. His first contribution to our site is already in our Columnist section. It’s called “The Means, The End, And Everyone In Between”.
Here’s a snippet:
It now seems that a minority government in Canada needs to give consent to its own defeat. If they want to cling to power against the will of the majority, they can just cancel opposition days, ignore every other attempt to defeat them, and trade appointments, money and influence for votes until they have rigged a confidence vote held on their terms.
It is easy to say we reject the idea that the end justifies the means. In practice it takes a lot of integrity to turn down something desirable simply because the method of achieving it violates moral or democratic principles.
