In this Friday rant, Stephen LeDrew asks a question he does not ask very often: could Canada finally be starting to move in the right direction?
LeDrew remains deeply critical of the federal government, including Prime Minister Mark Carney, government spending, bureaucracy and what he sees as continuing problems with accountability.
But this rant is also about something bigger.
After years of political division, a worsening drug crisis, battles over Canadian history and identity, frustration with immigration policy and a growing sense that the country had lost some of its social cohesion,
LeDrew says he is beginning to hear something different from Canadians.
People want accountability. They want responsible government. They want their communities to work. And they want to feel proud of Canada again.
LeDrew points to municipal candidates, provincial leaders, MPs and ordinary Canadians who are increasingly demanding better government and stronger communities.
Canada cannot simply turn the clock back. The country has changed.
But LeDrew argues that it can move forward with more responsibility, more accountability and a renewed sense that Canadians still have something worth rebuilding together.
