An open letter to Canadian Politicians

Dear Canadian political types,

Where is the love?

I’m so sick of hearing about how much your opponent is trying to screw me, or mess with the Constitution, or is just plain arrogant and mean spirited.

Here’s something that I would find refreshing: Agree with your opponent. Why not? Remind people that they are in fact working hard, and each person has the best interest of the country at heart.

It’s a sad day when Canadian politics are more cut throat than American. I’ll never forget the day when Obama said to his supporters something to the effect of, “Say what you want about John McCain, but he loves his country as much as I do.” I’m paraphrasing, but I would like nothing more than to see some acknowledgement of mutual respect on Parliament hill.

Is that too much to ask?

Sincerely,

Canada
