To my readers, critics and friends
Everyone is welcome on my blog. However, if you come here to change my fundamental political beliefs, then you're wasting your time. I consider myself a good listener, however there are certain principles in life that I feel one must never compromise.
For instance, when it comes to politicians and bureaucrats, I firmly believe that they are public servants (they are there to serve the public, not the other way around). I have been part of that world and have some understanding about the role of a public servant.
For political leaders, serving the public MUST come first, it should not be about their egos or self-glory. They should not act like Egyptian Pharaohs. The problem with our current leaders in Canada is that they are infatuated with their own egos and self-glory. The well-being of Canadians has taken a backstage. And that kind of leadership is source of a great anguish.
Who are these self-aggrandizing leaders? I am talking of course about Stephen Harper and Michael Ignatieff.
I am not a regular listener of Frank Sinatra, but the other day I heard his song "I Did It My Way." (I do have to note that where it says a "man" in his song it should also say a "woman" but what do you expect, it was sung by the "Chairman of the Board.") Nonetheless, the following lyrics did catch my attention:

Nonetheless, the following lyrics did catch my attention:
For what is a man , what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!
I think there is a valuable lesson in this song. Now sit back, relax, turn up the volume and listen to the "Chairman of the Board" sing. Cheers.
