In Ottawa, loyalty faces a big test in 2014

The concept of loyalty is likely to be a much discussed issue in 2014. Kicked off dramatically in 2013 by Edward Snowden’s security and diplomatic leaks, the issue remains one of churn. Is Mr. Snowden a traitor to his country who deserves to be locked up in prison for his disloyalty? Or is he in fact , a hero – someone who found himself to be loyal to higher principles than that patriotism?

Our system of government is not a corporation, nor should it be. But it’s a multidisciplinary world and we can all learn from each other. Let’s please foster courage. Let’s please insist on discipline.

We can be good followers of leaders but let’s not become a nation of sheep.
