Federal Elections are at last upon us in Canada. As grateful as I am to live in this magnificent country, there is always room for improvement within our government.
Yes, it is possible to be simultaneously grateful for what you have and at the same time strive for more. Let's not forget that we all have a responsibility to protect our rights, and to keep our politicians in line.
We live in a world where many will face threats of punishment or even death in order to vote. I live in a country where the right to vote was granted to women less than 100 years ago. Personally, I cannot take my ability to vote without fear of intimidation or violence lightly.
Indeed we have so much to be grateful for in Canada. Let's keep it that way.
