Preston Manning and Mike Harris have published a strong, substantive and purposeful declaration, designed to guide the path that Canada should take in the coming century.

The tragedy is that even if Canadians elected a leader with the vision to enact such a powerful agenda, upon election, that leader would be suffocated by the political realities which would make real and positive change an impossibility.

Well, that's the way it stands right now, at least.

I remember hearing a saying or quote, something like, the changing of leaders is the joy of fools.

If Stephen Harper is elected Prime Minister this summer, and the odds are surely in his favour, it would only be a step forward if he has the resolve and character to undertake serious reforms in the way this country works.

Instead, he's likely to succumb to the disingenuous demagoguery that Paul Martin and Jack Layton will endlessly throw at him.

I'm usually an optimist, but I hope no one gets their hopes up THAT high.
