Description
The Citizens Centre for Freedom and Democracy is a non-profit organization that promotes responsible government. This means government that is honest, accountable and constitutional.
Accountable government is democratic. All public policies set by courts and cabinets are subjected to approval, scrutiny and amendment by the elected representatives of the people, or by referendum.
From its origins two centuries ago, the emphasis in Canadian democracy was on "responsible government," as defined above. Since the 1960s, however, the focus has shifted to "compassionate government," whereby the federal government now presumes to direct and fund social and economic development, both of which are provincial or private responsibilities.
