As Egypt fights for a free society and there is blood on the streets, I ask what about our free society?
We can take a look down to our south and see the USA struggle with it's freedom. Homeland Security, torture, a lack of full support for New Orleans years after Katrina? Is the USA still free?
What about Canada, we are comfortable and healthy but are we still free? Can we assume that warmth, full bellies and lots of money equals freedom?
If you were a trusted and well known voice could you speak out? Is protest still allowed? What did we see at the G20 in Toronto citizens abused and controlled by our police or lawbreakers being justly dealt with?
Is the citizen still represented by our elected officials and if not then who?
In the future do we want to have to fight for the democracy we already have?
What do You think?
