Open letter to MP Ryan Leef:
I missed the Canada Day parade, but wanted to add my voice to many who marched and sang and banged drums and carried signs, kept a positive attitude and expressed that we love a Canada that:
* is a positive example;
* considers all its people;
* is caring and sharing;
* does its part to minimize ozone depletion;
* makes me proud to be Canadian;
* does what is right, rather than expedient;
* does not bully;
* values honesty;
* demonstrates transparency;
* exemplifies integrity;
* is compassionate;
* respects and protects the environment;
* thinks long-term, and;
* does not sell off its natural resources.
