The Last Exile

I decided I would do something I haven’t done in a while and will shut my virtual doors on the blog with a Leonard Cohen song. I am dedicating this one to 20 former board members of the Conservative Calgary West Riding Association whose democratic rights were trampled by the leadership of the Conservative Party. Those 20 former board members made decision not to rubber stamp a nomination process which failed to respect the membership’s rights to a democratic process. Here, Here!

Lyric Highlight:

It’s coming from the sorrow in the street,
the holy places where the races meet;
from the homicidal bitchin’
that goes down in every kitchen
to determine who will serve and who will eat.
From the wells of disappointment
where the women kneel to pray
for the grace of God in the desert here
and the desert far away:
