The Opening Post

For years I have had an interest in politics and social issues. In high school, Social Studies was my strongest subject, and class that I enjoyed attending the most, probably the only class that I never skipped. In my adult years and my developing maturity I went through transformations in my political and social viewpoints, primarily having a conservative viewpoint until the 2008 financial crisis, where I became very interested in economics and started to favour socialisation, and now my viewpoint is definitely in the realm of libertarian socialism.

I now see that the world is far from true democratic freedom, mostly at the behest of the government of the United States of America, by for the world's leading superpower. While my native Canada is still far from the political atmosphere that dominates the USA, I do see it as being threatened to forcibly adopt policies that would threaten our freedoms, one example being through treaties such as NAFTA.

I have started this blog as an outlet for my frustrations at the world, and as an attempt to shed some light on what is really happening in it. While my intention is not to force my political viewpoints, I do intend to spread awareness, because I believe that awareness is the first step to instituting change, which is definitely in our power as citizens of a democratic society that is obligated to practice the policies it preaches.
