POLITICS AS USUAL

Here is the Prime Minister's customary year end interview with the Canadian Press. Walking a fine line, Mr. Harper seems unwilling to confront realities or to say something that is not already tested in opinion polls, making it obvious that he is in a minority government position an dunable to carry out any bold moves. For 2008, my wish is that Canadians should engage in a national debate about what kind of country do we really want, what values we should espouse, what our economic needs are, who should get in and how quickly, and who should be kept out, even if some feathers are ruffled. We no longer have a choice, since our politicians are too worried about losing a few votes for saying something that is not considered politically correct. Ignoring a problem does not make it go away.Here is the link to the interview:
