Year End Thought - the Canadian Way



Whispering in the Wind (WITW 103) December 23, 2015
For a good number of analysts, 2015 was a year of discussion on the “Big Issues” and the “Big Picture”.  Political pundits have offered their opinions and judgements on what went so terribly wrong in the world, and which politicians are most to fault – no doubt in my mind, the world need fixing.  In Canada, political things are unfolding differently, Canada has a “new” prime minister.  While terrorism, climate change, unemployment and economic instability are of paramount concern to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his government, it is the transport and the settling-in of 25,000 Syrian refugees that has captured the hearts and compassion of Canadians generally.  Justin Trudeau and his ministers have had to temper timelines for the welcoming of the Syrian refugees, and the Canadian public has accepted the delays as justified.  As to the other important files on Trudeau’s political agenda, he’s on fire with enthusiasm – with the big question being, can the results of his enthusiasm be realized with increased job creation numbers?
Have a Joyous, Merry Christmas
To the readers of the “Whispering in the Wind” column and to those who offer me their valuable insights and experiences in politics; please accept my thanks and gratitude – without your feedback I don’t think I could continue expressing and defending my opinions – have a good Christmas.
