BETTER DAYS AHEAD FOR US?

This bear has been glued to the TV, radio and newspapers following the recent Convention of the Federal Liberal Party of Canada in Montreal. More than 5,000 candidates met to choose a new leader. Unfortunately no candidate said "I will represent every bearess and bear of this land". No candidate said "I will bring to Parliament every bear's concern about ice conditions". No candidate said "No bear will go to sleep hungry because of over-fishing or seal depletion". The sad fact is that there was no one speaking for the common bear or the Arctic or the environmental fate of our Inuit friends who like to carve and sculpt beautiful bears in soap stone and yet they chase us with their high-powered rifles.
Yet, three delegates spoke eloquently about the Environment. Kennedy, Brison and Dion. They may no be the best candidates to defeat that funguticus Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Foggy Weather Minister Rona Ambrose, but there is hope. And on thin ice, you cling to everything that can help you. The final tally showed Stephane Dion as the victor, thanks to the support of Gerard Kennedy. Bear hair Bob Rae lost. Martha Hall Findlay lost. Yet both deserve a space to participate in the next Liberal Government. Nevertheless, this bear is not a red liberal, it is white, has white fangs, black claws and a big, green heart. As green as the colour of hope in the defeat of the horrendous Conservatives and the coming of a new government that will take into account our fate in this beautiful Arctic land.
