Social Fabric

social fabric: Fixing the tears in our social fabric, Dec. 22, according to The Star. Will any of this happen under the Conservatives, especially if progressive Canadians continue to split the vote and allow them to keep governing? Remember, even a minority didnt stop the prime minister from doing what he wanted! Re: Fixing the tears in our social fabric, Dec. 22 Prime Minister Stephen Harpers agenda is no longer hidden but in plain view, not just in his own office, but also in his latest efforts to gag whistleblowers for life. With our civil and democratic institutions eroding all around us, what we see isnt pretty. It demands urgent attention, and Michael Valpys call to action involves restoring cohesion through greater harmony, inclusivity and belonging. To this end, he wisely prescribes mandatory voting, proportional representation, a guaranteed income, and protecting the precariat. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
