Many have complained about the ünnecessary, expensive, and expensive" Federal election. As an Engaged Citizen with lots of concerns, I think it was a worthwhile and even timely exercise in applied democracy. We all learned some things and valuable lessons.  The Party Leaders learned they had to deal with pandemic politics and personal attacks. The Candidates learned that campaigns matter volunteers are key to winning and getting out the vote makes the difference. Citizens learned that we have power to make changes, even if that means reaffirming the Liberal Minority government. Citizenship Power is especially potent at election time.  that's when Parties and Candidates truly pay attention to you. They are after our attention and approval so the power shift from the Party-Bound MP to the Individual Citizen. We learned that apathy is boring and indifference is debilitating and together they are dangerous to a robust and sustainable democracy. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ken-chapman/message
