This gradual collapse of local journalism has a ripple-effect through our society.

How many people out there watched their riding debates in this year's election? The conservatives didn't even bother to show up for riding level debates! Does anybody know what their local MPs are working on? MMPs? The only reason we know about city hall is because we're enthusiastic urbanists, and because Coleman created a market for city hall news.

In the USA they have far better local media coverage, and they also have Representatives that aren't afraid to butt heads with party leadership. That is not a coincidence.
