Unfortunately the poor governance is our fault. While we had our noses to the grindstone working, raising familiies, and enjoying our freedoms the ones we elected to represent us that we trusted (and believed) to look out for our interests were not just failing us but purposely enriching themselves at our expense. We MUST get back involved in the processes, starting at every local level until we can get it back under control. It will be long and difficult but as Elizabeth said, we have some super smart people here.

yes, exactly. I keep thinking of my great aunt and uncle who virtually ran Vancouver via their charitable enterprises - hundreds of them over the years, and they were not unusual, but part of a large cohort all of whom were profoundly knowledgable and engaged. Not rich. Comfortable. They would never have let that city become a money-laundering center.
