Canadian's urged to see government as part of the solution in upcoming federal elections

The Toronto Star had an interesting editorial endorsing Justin Trudeau and the Liberals to out the decade long conservative government led by Stephen Harper. Besides election specific stuff, it made some cogent points about the role of government in a nation's society.

"Beyond the specifics of each party’s policies, voters should also turn away from the Conservatives’ implicit message that Canada as a whole just shouldn’t aspire to much. They have spent so much time and energy whittling away at the very concept of government that they devalue the idea of collective achievement itself.
The Liberals under Trudeau’s leadership are rekindling the sense among Canadians that we can do better, and that government can be an essential part of that effort. As we wrote last week, they offer hope for “those who believe Canada can be more generous, more ambitious and more successful.” That’s no small thing."
