The Emergence of Democracy

After ten long years Canada threw off the shackles of a sour,toxic regime and emerged with a fresh young democratic and positive leader and a new Liberal majority government.It came about in a dramatic fashion with the Atlantic provinces painting the map red in every riding. The rest of the country went the same way with a surge of new people being elected to bring about change.

Most people realized that new blood and new ideas had to be presented and positive leadership was the answer. Harper served the country for ten years and should be given credit and thanks for his dedication to Canada. For any leader to serve like that contributions were made but in this case the old ideas became tired and the leader became toxic so the people spoke.

The future seems to be bright and the leader energetic but there is much to do and so many expectations will be demanded after all the promises. If the democratic process is revived and all members have a stake in the process our country will flourish and people will have new faith in our system. There must be patience as everything cannot be done in a short time but there must be perceived and seen progress on the promised programs.

I love the excitement of an election and the energy of all the candidates, not only the winners as I think of every person who dares and puts up his name to be judged by fellow citizens is a winner.One statement that sticks with me from Justin's remarks resonates with me. Justin said said that the opposition are not our enemies but they are our neighbors. That makes sense and my wish is that everyone in Canada comes together and works to make this country the best that it can be. The election is over and we have to contribute in so many ways to become a true citizen of the best country in the world.
