For Canada's easternmost province, the lead-up to the 2015 general election was the most turbulent time for politics in at least a generation, and Telegram reporter James McLeod had a front row seat...

What VEHICLE did we climb aboard that carried us so far from our cultural roots? How did the vast changes to society, our social framework and our relationships come about? Most importantly, we must ask ourselves, "How could we become so divided? Or are we?"
The answers we hear in the public discourse are wholly inadequate to address the scope of the changes.

America is under siege and unless we act now, it will be too late.
When we cast a false light on reality to avoid recognizing the truth of a situation, it becomes much more difficult to distinguish between what should or should not be acceptable. Uncomfortable truths are brushed aside and malignancy festers. Great societies have toppled because they failed to do what was necessary to save themselves. And America will be no different.
No revolution...
