We have seen what happens when the electorate remains apathetic and sluggish. Indifferent.
Look south at the Trump administration and what this indifference has led to.
We are not immune to this in Canada. While we sleep, tyrants rise and they come in many guises. We laugh at their buffoonery until it is too late. Until they secure control.
Make no mistake about the forces that are in play at this time. We see ancients hatreds arise. Even in the streets of Toronto we witnessed hatred against women in the recent van attacks that targeted them.
Why is no one speaking about this in Canada? Have we waved it away in our traditional Canadian "politeness", which is sometimes our demise?
In the case of voting in our leaders don't wave away your power thinking that your vote won't make a difference. It makes a tremendous difference because the power does not reside "out there". It lies within you.
If you waive the right to exercise that power, then you get the government and the leaders you deserve.
You become a smudge on their landscape. Which is what they wanted all along.
