This is a democratic country where voices can be heard on any number of issues but at the end of the day a decision has to be made otherwise minority rule, another form of non-democratic governing structures, becomes the eventual outcome. Democracy is not unanimity rather it is the attempt to hear all sides and try to reach some workable degree of concencus. Getting one's way is not democracy may be a laudable objective, but not the test of democracy. Mr Phillip, equality within Canada, as long as it is a democracy, is having your voice heard in good faith, and acknowledging the legitimacy of other voices.
