Quotations
| We can watch from this side of the fence as our neighbours self-destruct and we can have sympathy for the scores of millions who will suffer so that a tiny elite can become super-rich. But moving in with them won't help them. And it could destroy us. Mimicking their culture of fear, their self-destructive individualism, their suspicion of others, their isolation from the rest of the world, their minimalist decaying government, and their passive acceptance of extreme poverty will just help perpetuate their decline.Better for both of us that we Canadians strengthen our own country. Let us enhance our communitarian approach, build on our social programs, reverse the decline in education spending, take the lead in fighting climate change, and revive our tradition of progressive international engagement and leadership. That way, if and when, in desperation, our neighbours look for a model to follow, there will still be one. Just next door. Murray Dobbin |
