Recently a letter to the editor urged us to read an item (and spread the word) in the New York Times, The closing of the Canadian mind purportedly what Canada has lost during the Harper years.
Because the election date is nearing, and I will be voting, I did research this article and while doing so I came across a rebuttal of sorts, in The Montreal Gazette dated 9/26/15, titled Canada the Good vs. Canada the Ugly. In my opinion if you are to believe the contents of the first article without reading the second one you are doing yourself and the political process a disservice — if it swayed your vote.
