About Hope

"When evil people plot, good people must plan. When evil people shout ugly words of hatred, good people must commit themselves to the glories of love." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.



All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
Winston Churchill


Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world.
Abraham Lincoln

Consider this

Stephen Harper has said, "When I get through with Canada Canadians will not recognize it."


This is already happening and a growing throng of Canadians are not happy with the results. The rest of the world hardly recognizes this Canada either.  Mr. Harper has kept his word to Canadians.


I say, "When WE get through with this country you WILL recognize it.  It will resemble the Canada about which you have dreamed and for which you have laboured and invested and sacrificed.
That Canada will be a place of justice with compassion & prosperity with responsibility.  It will be a world environmental leader for the 21st Century with sparkling clean waters to drink, swim in or fish from - clean water from coast to coast to coast.  This Canada will be for ALL Canadians."
In the end even Stephen Harper will be glad that he was defeated and he will thank us for our work and courage in the face of his belligerence and betrayal.  Then he will also help us build this Canadian Dream upon the foundations we have inherited.  

This is the greatest nation in human history because our people have done some things right over the long history of our democracy.  Now we have the opportunity to make it even more right...far more just and compassionate, welcoming and rewarding.  

Poor Steve simply does not know what to do - otherwise he might just do it.  But as someone has said, "Some people - they don't know and you can't tell them."


Peace Pays more and better than war!  We have proven that in Canada.  Now let's sell that idea to a hurting world and lead as only we can do.  

We alone among nations enjoy sufficient trust in the international community to successfully promote this idea.  We alone have the resources to succeed in this great historic enterprise.  

When we achieve that victory THAT will be Canada's finest hour!  You WILL recognize it when you see it.  It will be the image from your imagination and heart.



"Don't keep the peace...pass it on."
