A Message For Canada

Stephen Lewis took advantage of the golden opportunity to give Canada a message of hope, civility and love. Hope for a better Canada, civility in relations with each other and love of country were stated so eloquently over and over again by Canada,s best speaker. The language used by Stephen was blended so well as to make everyone aware of the importance of the message. It was as if he was talking to the Prime Minister and advising him of the way things should be done in Ottawa.

He challenged everyone to take Jack as an example of how to relate to people of all stripes and to always be civil while doing so. There is so much distrust and anger against our leaders whether they be political, economic or even religious because of their actions reported through the media. The social media has opened up the world to practically everyone instantly, and has caused a a social revolution.

People are just sick and tired of the way our country is being managed and feel helpless but Jack changed all that with a picture perfect campaign during the last election. He used honesty, humour and a message of hope to convince we the people that we can become agents of change. He said we must work together and make things happen. This message resonated through Stephen's  entire speech and brought everyone to their feet on any occasion where he spoke of civility and co-operation  in making our country a better place in which to live.

He praised Canada for being a great country but emphasized the challenge of making it an even better country by sharing the wealth and being inclusive so everyone in Canada could feel welcome and  could share its bounty. Jack and Stephen were great friends and shared the same ideals and convictions. Stephen works on a world stage and uses his skills to provide basic needs for people whose country is not doing so. His bond with Jack is that he has being the same work at the people level. If there was a social cause Jack was in the lead and if there was a balanced argument required Jack was not adverse to taking the often unpopular stand to make that argument.

Together they make a formidable team for good here in Canada and have thrown out the challenge for us to do the same. The message was for Canada but we as individuals are Canada and can make a difference.
