Tide of accountability

There is a surging in the oncoming tide of accountability.
Publics, hypersensitive after revelations that some of the worlds most influential governments lied their people and the rest of the world into an illegal invasion of Iraq, are now flailing about their own communities looking to see if they have been similarly hoodwinked.
Here in Canada, our Conservative government got elected at least partially on a platform of accountability. They even have an Accountability Act.

The Commisisoner of the R.C.M.P. Canadas well known and widely respected federal police force, has resigned from his post on an issue of accountability.

A community organization, MADD, or Mothers Against Drunk Driving, a well respected organization that warns against the proven dangers of drunk driving is going through demands for accountability at the moment.
It involves how money is spent within that organization. Volunteers are asking revealing questions. They want an outside firm to probe the books, but the executive/management says their own internal process is enough.
In Nixonian terms managements response could be called stonewalling.

This demand for accountability is worldwide, far reaching, ever expanding.
In India, the judiciary is holding politicians to account, leading to charges that they are being over-activist. And so the demands for accountability continues to grow and reach all sectors of society.
This is good for democracy.
