  things to come

A quick post to note things to come.

Events in the Middle East, Sudan and the Ivory Coast seem to be spiralling out of control. Here at home, it seems that the minority government of Paul Martin is incapable of uniting in voice and action to address any of these issues. I spend a fair amount of time wrestling with these issues in my head and little time putting my thoughts to light.

This needs to change.

At the very least I need to express my feelings about what is happening in the world and more importantly, to put forward what I think are approaches that can be taken by my government as well as by the people I share my community with.

I have made announcements in the past about plans for future writings without actually following through on those stated plans. This time will be different. There is too much that is wrong in the world. Too much violence and too much killing, too many words followed by too few actions. There has to be a dialog and I intend, in this little bit of the blogosphere, to begin that dialog.

Please stay tuned.
