Wonderful words of rationality, empathy, and wisdom. Keep them coming. If we don’t absolutely self-destruct in the next generation, we will need them desperately.

I believe you write that it is desirable to:
” forge a common purpose among people who have never shared anything before”

That statement resonates deeply with me. If we are going to sustainably address big issues, I believe diverse, deep support is critical.

Do you feel this is important as well? I read a bit into your piece that you are not a great fan of the current government. Are you taking a partisan side and, if so, do you see a respectful, civil, and even cooperative relationship with other partisans as important?

Looking back, I still have no regrets. I would never want to be a apart of a politics that was dishonest, polluted and unimaginative. And yet, fast forward almost 20 years later and I have yet to see a real vision for change. Until now.

This is by far one of the most refreshing reviews I have read of our politics in some time and what’s more is that you actually provide tangible solutions. I encourage you to consider entering the political arena or finding a worthwhile candidate that fits your bill. I assure you, we Canadians are awaiting the vision you have drafted. Bravo!
