Democratic Responsibilities

When Canadians allow fundamental issues of public policy -- such as abortion, euthanasia, or whether possession of child pornography should be a crime -- to be decided by courts, rather than by Parliament, they are shrugging off the perhaps now irksome burden of self-government. At bottom, democracy is anti-authoritarian, not because it arrives at correct, or even principled, conclusions, but because it imposes on everyone the burden of thinking and deciding for oneself. How much easier to allow the nine philosopher-kings on the Supreme Court of Canada to think and decide for us.

Welcome to the 'Constituency Information' Section.

In 2003 Canada's federal government redistributed our country's federal electoral districts, drawing new boundaries and renaming most constituencies. Ken Epp MP was elected in 1993 as the Member of Parliament for the Elk Island constituency, and has served in this capacity until the riding was renamed Edmonton Sherwood Park in 2003.
