Salim Mansur writes beautifully (as he always does) today about our state of affairs in this country. It is a warning as much as anything, and one which we should all pay attention to in light of the by-electoral victory in Newfoundland and Labrador last night.
Here’s a snippet but read the whole thing in the Columnist section:
That would not be surprising, for the Liberal Party of Canada is not merely a party, as are its opposite numbers. It is an institution that has become more or less indistinguishable from the state, its personnel and influence deeply embedded within society, its self-image inseparable from how the country increasingly views itself as a people gifted by nature to innovate new relationships of sex, wealth and power, unbidden by any traditional constraints of faith and family.
Hence, if the Liberal party is returned to government, however contrite it pretends to be in public, the electorate will be passing judgment less on a party without scruples than on themselves as a people content with their own reflections in the country’s mirror.
