Monday
night’s election, which made Justin Trudeau Prime Minister-elect, should serve
as a reminder to all elected governments that the public will sink their ship
if they persist on the wrong course.
Every
citizen isn’t a policy wonk or a political junkie, but the collective has a way
of understanding when they are being led astray.
Of course,
the problem wasn’t just policy; it was about tone, too.
Throughout
Canada, Stephen Harper grated on our collective nervous system; like a rusty
hinge on an old gate, he became more aggravating at every turn. The Senate,
corruption in the PMO, the restriction of rights in favour of imagined security
threats, an abuse of Parliament, and the contradictions that accompany ‘tough
on crime, tough on drugs’ as he kisses up to Ford Nation.
He had to go.
