A Brief from Doug Draper, Niagara At Large
When I asked readers a month or so ago to send in ‘signs of our times’ – meaning an image of any sign or bumper sticker that speaks to our crazy an interesting times – I got this one from Robert Tripp from the colourful community of Ridgway in Niagara, Ontario.
It falls in to the bumper sticker category and it seems particularly relevant as Niagara, Ontario residents – at least those who choose to get engaged and vote – go to the polls in possibly the most important municipal elections this region, with its high jobless rates and other challenges, faces so far this century.
This one features a line from Plato, from more than 2,000 years ago in a time-honoured country called Greece, where democracy first took a firm foot-hold.
Read this one and keep it firmly in mind as you decide whether or not you will get engaged or allow apathy to shut you off in these municipal elections
