A recent article both in the Toronto Star and Vancouver Sun, pointed out that in this election the Conservative Party is fielding more visible minority candidates than the Liberal Party. It is quite a stunning defeat for a party (Liberal) whose mantra to visible minorities has been "vote for us because we let you into the country."

At the all-candidates meeting I attended in North Vancouver (recently), Paul Martin's name was not mentioned once. The incumbent Liberal, Don Bell, admitted that he was blindsided by Martin's announcement during the leadership race that a way would be devised under a Liberal government to prevent the notwithstanding clause from ever being used by the federal government. The audience was polite; no one asked what hope there is for Canada if the Liberals get re-elected after all the recent scandals, and no one asked Bell who he would back in the upcoming Liberal leadership race.

The Indo-Canadian community has come a long way since its ancestors set foot on Canadian soil in 1897. Members of our community have been making a great contribution to the growth and development of this country for more than one hundred years. They have made impressive strides in nearly every aspect of Canadian life. Unfortunately, for the past few years, such achievements have been somewhat overshadowed by the senseless violence amongst some our young people.
