I know a guy in my town who I discuss politics with from often when I se him but he has it worse. Not only does he hate Harper according to him Conservatives have never done anything good and he stretches this attitude across the border as well. This individual is an intelligent person but I do wonder how he became so poisoned in his mind. I think there is good people in all of the parties regardless of how strongly I disagree on issues and if I see a good idea it doesn’t matter to me who had it. I also from time to time disagree with conservatives on certain issues. I don’t think free trade was such a good thing. I think there is a middle ground when it comes to raising minimum wage. It is so easy to throw out lines like if you want more work harder, or get a second job or get more education. I use to make these same kind of comments but now when I hear it I think of Ebenezer Scrooge’s indifferent response “are there no prisons are there no workhouses”? At times these might be possible solutions but I live in a small town and know there are people whose only raise comes when the government forces he employers to raise minimum. Sometimes the employers need to reward the employees who helped make them successful and not only consider maximizing the profit for the shareholder or themselves. We also see banks cutting and cutting jobs while they make record profits, putting increasing amounts of pressure on the remaining staff while the ones management positions benefit from the jobs they hack away so they can live like little kings. So yes I do criticize us from time to time. Ant yes I do support Ezra and the rebel media. It isn’t important to me if I agree with every issue. What is important is the are priding perspectives you don’t hear anywhere else and I have to give thanks to Ezra for helping people to fight legal battles and bringing issues to the forefront that should be of concern to every freedom loving citizen. Our forefathers fought and paid a huge price for us to give our freedoms away without a fight or without in some cases even knowing what is going on. So thank you and continue to watch out for us and bring us these stories. So if you are able to support Ezra’s defense fund remember it isn’t just his freedom he is fighting for whether you like him or hate him.
