But now, I have to get this out, get this off my chest: Canada needs to participate more in the great debate. Canadians need to hear all sides of the story, to know the good and the bad. What is the great debate? It's the discussion everyone is involved in when they discuss, debate, argue, and talk about what the good-life is, about how to live best, how to govern and be governed. It includes philosophy, politics, morality and economy.
Well, these days we have competing ideas and theories about our economy, about political policy, and about how to live you personal life according to your personal morality, and there's a lot of misinformation out there. Like how a planned economy can smooth out the economic roller coaster, and to a degree it does, but only by making everyone equally poor. Or that free enterprise is a system only for greedy materialistic type folk, and the poor will be left in the dust; that's only sometimes true, but I call that capitalism.
The point is that Canadians need a national forum, a televised forum, where experts from all sides and all spectrum's and all walks of life debate and discuss the key issues facing Canada, and include normal Canadians, people like you and me who aren't experts, but know what sounds good and are primarily concerned with protecting their families and way of life. If we don't get this forum, then the government will go on making policies that will harm our families and create a socialist nation with limited freedoms, dependent on the state, and no real family relationships.
Spread the word. Join the debate.
