Good post. I spoke with someone today about the respective party platforms. This lady acknowledged that the Alliance had a better platform in tax reduction, health care increase, etc. than did the incumbent liberals. Then she said an amazing thing: "But they are ALL a bunch of racists!" What an insulting, and absolutely false thing to say!
I asked her how come Alliance Conservative members used to be just Conservatives, and were left out of these intolerant and bigoted and racist comments...but since going under the Alliance banner, it is now OK to refer to these upstanding citizens as "ALL a bunch of racists". This caught her off guard. After a pause she said: "Oh, I don't mean them...just the people that were Reform!" I told her that Alexis (NDP) had called Day a cockroach. "Well, he IS", she said!
So Canada remains in bed, a dying patient; A young country, acting like the oldest in the world. A country afraid to get out of bed; A country afraid to bite into a steak. Internationally, a sense of isolation. No true networking; No true touching.
Internally, frightened of change. No INTEREST. No Excitement. No Vibrancy. Afraid to act, afraid to move, afraid to change. Nevermind that the remedy of the the free voter exists always to rectify a bad government. Nevermind that life is short and should not be lived in bed...NO, they will vote over and over again for known liars, and they will close their eyes to the calm and simplistic voice of honest people that want to get out of bed and say: "I--WE--EXIST. |
