Here is a very serious letter to the Toronto Star from D. Scott Barclay, Georgetown.
D. Scott Barclay, Georgetown.
I think that the initial in front of his name indicates that he is extra, extra, extra serious about what he is writing.
Here is his very, very, very serious letter:
Is Stephen Harper losing it? The world is in the worst recession since the '30s, facing massive unemployment; basic food prices, hunger and poverty are skyrocketing. AIDS and TB are back on the rise. Tensions in the Middle East and Korea have never been higher.
Only one leader stepped up on to the world stage at the most critical G8 summit in its history and felt compelled to take the opportunity to launch yet another personal character attack on his parliamentary rival back home. It's Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada.
Do any of the other world leaders digress from their crucial mission at the summit to degrade their domestic competition? Of course not, it's not the right place nor time. The fact that he employed a misquote is ironic, but secondary.
This type of grossly inappropriate judgment and repetitive behaviour is not benign. It betrays a character problem, a serious insecurity with oneself and one's role; an obsessive-compulsive personality.
A leader who is consumed with political paranoia and fixated at all times on his or her domestic opponent cannot lead effectively. It's just not possible to navigate the rocky road ahead while staring backward over one's shoulder.Perhaps it's time the Conservatives ask themselves if they need a new leader.

See, I told you he was serious.

A great point, I never realized an initial makes everything more serious. It really does, wow. As for the letter, yeah, it's true that Harper is not exactly the best prime minister. But I would appreciate if Mr. Barclay would suggest someone of better qualities, someone who could, according to him, lead effectively. Regards, Lorne.
