I’ve done some long and hard thinking these past couple of months.
I’m no conservative. I am actually a liberal, and I’m going to “come out of the closet” as it were and just “be”. A Liberal.
I was a Liberal as a younger fella, as you can see from this picture from back in the day, when I was a Liberal Party “insider” and “backroom” boy —OK I was little more than the pool boy— but Pierre Trudeau so awed and inspired me that it turns out… why it turns out his spell was indelible. It —he— has stuck with me for life.
I do understand this will come as a shock to many people, but it’s something I feel I have to do.
We should all be honest, and principled.
Vote Liberal.
