Political Blindness

Harper and his followers seized power because of a scandal and the Liberal Party's inability to rebut that scandal.  How they did not need that lesson - how they did not inoculate themselves against the likes of Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau - is beyond understanding.

The pressing question remains; who has the foresight to inoculate themselves against political blindness progressively?  Who has the capacity to lead us forward?
