My Canada

Posted: April 20, 2011 in Canada, Ideas, Media

Is not micromanaged in a dictatorial fashion.

Is not a closed door society.

Is never tolerant, but always respectful – open to dialogue and the views of others.

May be argumentative in such dialogue, but never in a cheap-shot, mudslinging manner.

And in the same breath, deals justice to anyone that violates our Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Includes those with opinions and political interests, and does not shut them out.  Regardless of who they get their picture taken with.

Lets people dictate the issues, and trusts that management will respond to them – but not without our input first.

Sources advisors with long-term public interest at heart – not short-term public persona.

Lets representatives represent their constituents to government, not government to their constituents.  From the bottom up – not from the top down.

Has leaders who are let free from their handlers, who can debate in public, and prove their humanity, rather than bury it.

Is a country whose international representation I should be proud of, instead of apologetic about.

What’s yours?
