Rise Up Video

I have been watching the reaction to the Rise Up video.

As expected that reaction depends on your political bent.  Conservatives pan it and Liberals love it.  As for the media pundits I really could not say.  I concluded they were idiots a long time ago and stopped reading or listening to them. 

What everybody seems to forget is that you cannot always predict what Canadians will care about.  As well, you cannot always predict how they will react at any given point to any given situation or statement.

Will this video and the sentiment it hightlights resonate with Canadians?  Who knows.  The Conservatives hope not, the Liberals hope so and the media pundits will try to tell Canadians what they should think but it will be ordinary Canadians who will have the final say.
