The Trudeau Five: Five Jingles with no Substance behind them

“Diversity is our strength”

“No relationship is more important to our government and to Canada than the one with Indigenous peoples.”

“This election will be the last under first-past-the-post.”

“The world needs more Canada.”

“The rich must pay their fair share.”

it is all well and good for sound bites, but there is no government policy nor substance behind any one of these. The world loves these little ditties, but there has been absolutely no government changes towards implementing these into policy. They are, completely hollow fabrications and nothing more. source

Jack Layton Dies…I had some Hope.

We all die sometime, but sudden deaths are still shocking. I had hoped that Jack Layton would change Canada for the better as Official Opposition in Canada’s Parliament. Now this will not happen. Bad timing? Right person, wrong time? Is there ever a “right time”? Though I did not meet him, I felt he was a person of integrity and honesty, one that would truly represent the people that voted for him, and for the betterment of all Canadians. This I do not feel for any other politician in Federal politics. May his spirit carry on.
