Randy Chatterjee said… So we meet again!
Democracy is a consociational reality whereby many open, social and political organizations vie for authority and agenda-setting to direct public policy. In Vancouver, we are 600,000 atoms in Brownian motion with no fact-based policy discussion and no competitive contention for leadership.
What we are creating here must also be created for NSV, a vibrant ferment of ideas and actions. While VV is grassroots, NSV is inter-associational. Both are enormously important in the democratic development of Vancouver, and BC. Both are also critical for sustainable development.
Consider what you see and learn here as a model for a very different sort of organizational association into which NSV could evolve.
Open and transparent, crowd-sourced, greater than the sum of its parts, and a political force that cannot be bought, co-opted, or derailed...easily.
A true democracy has many such touchpoints for people to engage and develop common bonds, a culture of trust, sharing synergies, and shared sacrifices.
It is going to take a while, but this is the only path to a healthy future.
