Liberals and Conservatives deliberately overwork understaffed nurses, sabotage public healthcare and cause high rents, mass evictions, homelessness, malnutrition and hopelessness for their own profit. Corporate governments vote. Mature Democracy is Canada's project of responsibility to ensure every Canadian owns sufficient food, shelter, care, respect, belonging, dignity to thrive with hope for their future.

Don’t wait for an election.

Canada needs to hear your concerns, complaints, insights, rants, or practical solutions.

Sincerely,

Mike Clancy

A Mature Democracy Cares

Our families are struggling.

Healthcare is in crisis

Our social safety net is torn.

Rents are higher than senior and disability pensions and welfare.

Disabled seniors begging for their lives are denied entry to full shelters at -10C.

I’m Mike Clancy

Let's create a caring community.

Each democracy reflects the character of their people.

A mature democracy cares.

Be my guest.

Offer your insights and solutions!

Name your local heroes!

Tell my listeners at Mature Democracy what kind of Canada reflects your character.
