I just wanted to drop a quick note to everyone to wish you all the best of the holiday season. This fall has been a political roller coaster and it is not likely to change in the New Year. The agenda has been dominated by bailouts, senate appointments and far too much political posturing.
Here at the National Citizens Coalition, our members are a great coalition of people who believe in Canada and want strong government that respects their taxpayer dollars, and protects free speech. The NCC and our members stand as a great contrast to the opposition parties who want to hand veto power to the separatist Bloc Quebecois.
For the thousands of you who signed our petition in our Stand up for Democracy campaign and donated money to help spread the message- many thanks. You made a difference and should be proud of all your hard work. However, the battle has only begun and you can be sure we will be very vigilant in the New Year to ensure that Canada faces the challenges ahead with a clear sense of purpose that is not blinded by partisan nonsense. Now is not the time to get into dialogue over government waste and reckless stimulus programs – that discussion will heat up in the New Year.
Best wishes to you and your family for a happy and healthy holiday season and all the best for 2009. Many thanks to all of you for reading the blogs and taking the time to post your comments- it is greatly appreciated.
