By midnight tonight there will be several hundred happy men and women who are successful in earning a seat in the House of Commons. These people will guide Canada for the next four years.There will also be about a 1000 men and women who will have their dreams shattered. It takes a special person to run for any office. The fact that an individual will stand above the crowd and offer their services for their fellow man is in itself a positive action.
To run for office and receiving some support is a win situation. People should be proud of their effort and hold their heads up high because they have kept alive the democratic process. Everyone is a winner who participates in the process. The losers are the ones who do not engage in the process and stand back and criticize the results.
Today we have men and women who have taken the step to be a winner and I congratulate every one and hope that those who are unsuccessful in winning this time will feel the urge to come back and be part of the drama of the next election. I hope we were all winners today and VOTED.
Heard about the outcome in the Cancun airport. Ugh! Tough pill to swallow. Am in search for an enterprising, charasmatic, candidate to run for the Liberal leadership. We need someone with integrity and guts who can hold his/her own on the world stage. This may be the best rearch I do!
