Why People Came Out in Droves

This letter to the Editor in The Globe pretty well sums it up. February 21, 2009.
-------------------------------------------------

Ottawa -- The reason I got myself out to Parliament Hill this week to greet U.S. President Barack Obama was not due to some mindless Beatlemania mentality (In Awe Of Obama - letters, Feb. 19), but rather to make a public show of support - to Prime Minister Stephen Harper and to the rest of the world - for Mr. Obama's policies and the need for change that he stands for. The more this public wave of support continues, the less likely that Mr. Obama's momentum will be prematurely cut short by countervailing powers.

So, let's continue to show that Canada too needs change, and that our leaders need to lead.
