Where is the Respect?

First things first....no one would ever consider me to be a conservative. Never. Ever.

But one has to wonder at the apparent treatment of former PM Mulroney by the new Conservative Party. Gives plenty of reason for the resurgence of the old PC party.

If nothing else, Mr Mulroney should be treated with the same respect that the present PM should. It pains me to say that! However, if we still want to to be a country that is the envy of other countries, one of the values that we must continue to exhibit is respect for each other. That does not mean that we have to like the person or agree with their opinions. It does mean that each person deserves fair and honourable treatment from others.

Somehow, on this Good Friday morning, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" seems fitting.

Our PM should demand respectful behaviour from his staff and party members, and demonstrate it himself.
