If pandemic living has taught us anything it is that we don’t always have control over what happens to us. Between the lock downs, necessary public health protocols and workplace restrictions we haven’t had a lot of control in our lives and nor has our opinion on these matters been requested.
However, in Canada on Sunday August 15th, 2021 that changed. Our opinion was sought in a big way to help make a most important decision. We don’t have a lot of time but there is enough time to develop an informed opinion on who we each think should lead this country. The deadline is September 20th, 2021 when finally we all will have the opportunity to make a difference.
To choose not to vote is to choose to give up on the future of this country. As Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
So, what is your opinion? Who do you think should lead this country out of the pandemic and into a bright new future? Your opinion has been sought because it matters! Take time to prepare yourself for an informed decision on Monday, September 20th.
