Well it came and went. I attended along with over 3,000 other people the rally this afternoon in Ottawa. It was great seeing so many ordinary people in attendance.
While some issues on 'several agendas' did appear present, the vast majority of attendees stayed 'on message'. Our Prime Minister needs to know (as do all Canadians) that a partisan-based move to prorogue our Parliament is unacceptable.
But you know facebook groups and rallies can only do so much. Neither can 'force' any change on any person's part. But Canadians can force change. We can change the people who run our government.
The way we do that is to have an election and vote for change. I know many Canadians don't want an election in 2010. But our current government has shown itself to be 'out of touch' with mainstream Canadian opinion on so many issues.
We need an election, in my view, to resolve this 'disconnect'. I hope it comes sooner rather than later.

I'm thinking many more Canadians are ready for an election now. I am. I was at the Rally in Regina today and I was happy to see so many young people there.
ReplyDeleteWell said, Dave. I agree. Let's ditch Harper before he wastes any more of our tax dollars.
