Concerned Canadians should take the present circumstances in parliament as an opportunity for change, not an opportunity to despair. We are the electorate – the first critical step in democracy - and should not be victims of corporations or their parties. We build parliament by electing and paying 338 representatives; let’s make sure it is us they are representing.
Sending Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott the message Canadians want them to bring their knowledge and integrity to a new parliament of independents would be a powerful step in making our government all it can be for all Canadians. We pay handsomely for the service, we should ensure we get the best service for our investment.
Times have changed, technology has changed, Canadians have changed. It’s time we insist parliament reflect the values of honest Canadians from coast to coast to coast. The move to independents needs our backing to work. We need independents to make our country work. Time is running out.
