Let’s be honest, there has never been anything close to the perfect leader.  It is impossible because there are so many different people with so many different points of view and with so many different agendas. The perfect leader does not exist.  The closest we ever come is having someone represent the majority of the people’s interests.  Well, isn’t that what an election is supposed to do?  Aren’t the people supposed to get out and vote and the majority’s voice should be heard?

On Monday, Toronto spoke.  It was not the result I personally wanted, nor the result anyone I know wanted, but the majority has made up it’s mind.  We could sit and complain that the voter turn out was only 52%, or how our new mayor’s vision for Toronto will effectively wipe it clean of life.  We could go on and on about how bad things will be, how it’s all down hill from here, how we are headed into dark times.  But honestly, how the fuck will any of that complaining and whining and negative thinking help at all?

If you are whining and negative talking, STOP IT!  Nothing has even happened yet.  Let’s face each situation as they come.  He is not an all powerful voice from atop a magical mountain where whatever laws he decrees automatically materializes.  He is not the beginning and the end of decision making.  We still have a voice.  There are still people at city hall with our best interests at heart.  This is still our Toronto.

Stop sulking, pick yourselves up and face this man head on.  He does not have the power to destroy things for us… only we do!
