Your points are very well taken, pronto.
I let my fury at our political 'leaders' and their low standards get in the way of good judgement. I apologize to Messrs Grewal, Disanjh, Martin and Murphy â “ for all I know they might be decent, ethical, honest, upright men.
I should have scattered "I believe" and "in my opinion" throughout because, of course, I have no proof that Grewal is scum and Martin is a crook. I, like everyone else, must await the outcomes of investigations and, oh I hope, criminal trials.
What I can say is: the ethical standards of this parliament, with some individual exceptions, are unworthy of the sacrifices made by hundreds of thousands of Canadians who shed their blood and gave their lives in the hope that we would live in an exemplary liberal, constitutional democracy.
Gilles Duceppe, Stephen Harper, Jack Layton and Paul Martin and their colleagues should pause and reflect upon the fact that better men than they will ever hope to be fought and died to give them the right to LEAD our country. They should shake their heads, stiffen their backs and get on with the job â “ which may involve resigning their offices and letting Canadians select better people.
