Let Nothing Ye Dismay

Ontario is big and passive. We simply do not react.
There is nothing someone who feels small and useless
when reading such material can do. Sometimes we yell
but actually confronting a problem seems unacceptable.
Until the whole thing implodes and then it will be too late.
Such negative thoughts with which to end the year.
I have a vague hope that the internet could intervene
but that also requires will and wisdom.

Great oaks from small acorns grow. The internet in Aurora is in its infancy.

Yet some very dramatic changes have evolved.

In the last election, despite four years of catering to every self-interest that raised its head and needlessly spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process;

Despite changing the town's administration almost entirely ,creating upheaval and disruption;

Despite a relentless four year campaign to seduce every person who ever raised a hand to help another as a potential campaign worker;

Despite spending hundreds of thousands of public funds in a blatant and unconscionable attempt to destroy a person who dared to express opposition.

Despite engaging in the shameless pandering that gives politics its reputation for sleaze....the plan did not work.

Against the odds, the principal architects went down to defeat.

Under no circumstances may we under-rate theinternet and its potential to change the world.

Learning about disturbing government activity is by no means a negative.

Knowledge is power.

Four years ago the information would still have been behind the scenes.

Awareness is the beginning of change.
