Well......elections are over and though I had planned on publishing more opinions, election duties kept me busy.
I'm back after a well deserved rest.
Happy that the Conservatives did not win the elections, in spite of our culture of a "Poll-o-cracy", that predicted that they might just win.Thankfully, once again, the pollsters were wrong. We are still a civilized country with a minority Liberal government and a resurgent NDP party.
Canada is still a sovereign country and not a lapdog of the Americans as we surely would be if Harper and his wrecking crew had won.
Hopefully the party without a proper platform, (they never had a policy convention before the writ was dropped) will now reveal its true colors to Canadians.
Hopefully those people of colour who ran as Conservative candidates, will now realize just who they have given their support,(and legitimacy) to. Hopefully, but not very likely.
How does one convince these folk that the party that once said they were in favor of European only immigration to Canada will not really take their views into account?
How does one convince them that regardless of the lightness of their skin or the color of their eyes, they are still NON-WHITES?....How indeed?
Well, hope still springs eternal!! We have until the next election or however long the minority government lasts to highlight the divisiveness of the Conservative party.
