Link of the Day: Coffee Party

The Coffee Party is “an organically growing, non-partisan movement brewed up by Democracy Watch,” which is itself a rather noble project.

“If Canadians spent as much time writing politicians about their concerns as they spend lining up to buy coffee, we would have the good, democratic governments and responsible big businesses we want. Politicians get very worried if only a few hundred voters write to them.

Unlike the American Tea Party, the Coffee Party claims it’s “pushing only for well-researched and broadly supported changes that will make Canadian governments and big businesses operate more honestly, ethically, openly, representatively, efficiently and effectively.”
