The lack of Progressive, ideas, attitude and overall respect for the political process is defamatory in my perception. I find it hard to take the Conservative Party of Canada seriously because it lacks a sense national unity, the kind of unity that was Brian Mulrouney was able to cultivate when he was the Prime Minister of Canada, and although Stephen Harper’s legacy of conservaitive elections and nearly a decade of ruling power was impressive the implosion of the last election is a great example of just damaged he left the party withough
The Conservative Party of Canada would do the same as Patrick Brown if smart and move back to its Progressive “Red Tory” roots, for any chance of surviving or will Elizabeth May and the Green Party of Canada get there first?

Anger is an emotion that tells us when something is wrong. We can feel angry when something is beyond our control or feels unfair, when we feel we can’t reach a goal, or when someone is hurt or threatened under too much stress. Anger can involve a wide range of feelings. Sometimes the results of these feelings end in violence, the repercussion of these acts have a grave impact not only on the individual who commits the crime but on society a whole. Not all these acts are trialed, passing the homeless man on the street, or the beggar downt
I know the emotion of anger very well, we all do, the difference is some of us grow and learn from it versus allowing the emotion to control us.Within my community there is a lot of anger, however at the same time an amazing amount of love, support and compassion. I’m proud of my Halifax, Nova Scotia (former city) roots but I’m a nationalist and always dreamed of exploring the word,
To My; Friends, Family, Colleagues, Associates, Constituents in Canada and around the World,

In 2008 when I ran for city council there was a public speaking event CBC Nova Scotia covered called “Why black youth don’t vote”, (http://bit.ly/20TLrfu) you can tell I was annoyed with the title but even more so when an older community leader tried to justify the apathy in the youth, Ray Lewis gave a passionate speech recently about ending violence, the Footballer in me shares that passion and determination for change.
At 23 I didn’t realize how cold the world could be, but today at 31 despite recent and on going tragedies and challenges I remain Determined, Motivated and Focused on “being the change” as Gandhi once said and with this new political landscape, I’ll be putting these words to the test for the current government. I’m joining the reserves because I want to fight for Peace and because Lester B. Pearson did, if Justin Trudeau’s favorite Prime Minister is Wilfred Laurier, The Honorable Lester B. Pearson, would definitely be mine, his globalization accomplishments bringing peace to the world through diplomacy over war and violence is inspiring to me.
We all have our short comings, that’s just life, but despite the darkness in our most desperate hours I believe the future is very bright! To my community and loved ones in Halifax who in 2008 took the time to vote for me in the Halifax Municipal Election, thank you for continuing to believe in the best of me.

Some residents find employment in the one remaining large working colliery in the Sydney coalfield.
