Confucius said (in Chinese) something like “Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself”. 2015 Canadian version “Those with the gold make the rules”. We keep hearing about billions to build hockey and baseball and football stadiums and fighter jets and on and on, but somehow when it’s time to “balance the budget” we just can’t build homes and schools and hospitals for our First Nations people. Say nothing about seniors’ homes so that the hospitals are not full of seniors taking up beds and expensive care. Harper wants to memorialize his anti-Communist feelings. I remember in the '70s the USSR invaded Afghanistan. It is well known that the Americans went to great expense to kick those “godless communists” out of Afghanistan. Then it was very easy for the “religious taliban” to throw acid in the faces of little girls who wanted to go to school. In the voting booth look before you leap. Where will we fall and how low will we go?
