So Worth Saving - Civil Society - thank you Globe and Mail

"We, the undersigned, are calling on you to address urgently the rise of incivility, public aggression and overt hatred that are undermining the peace and security of Canadian life. This issue is so important that it transcends partisanship. 

Whatever the reasons for the increasingly belligerent nature of many of the current interactions between Canadians with different perspectives on hostilities in the Middle East or other divisive issues, we believe that no Canadian should ever be fearful because of their identities or their beliefs. Many are."

As one who has been watching and writing about this tension for many years I was really pleased to see this letter.

This problem is bigger than political parties and other leaders, it's a mental health breakdown that will continue to bring down humanity if we continue to let this mood fester.

Thanks to all those who wrote and used their influence to post it.
