Guess what? Dinosaurs and their reluctance or inability to adapt to change were not restricted to the Alberta landscape.

As confirmed by recent election results it appears that some of them migrated to the south shores of Georgian Bay to take up residence in the districts of Dufferin-Caledon, Simcoe-Grey and Bruce.

Long ago their conservative values and resistance to change led to their demise as the environment changed around them.

As the wave of climate change enveloped them they found themselves denied the ability to maintain their control over the landscape.

The definition of “conservative”, according to Funk and Wagnall’s Standard Dictionary states, “Adhering to and tending to preserve the existing order of things; opposed to change or progress.”

Sounds like Dinosaur mentality to me.

In this day and age of rapid changes in technology and communications, dinosaur mentality is unacceptable and should not be condoned or promoted as the best option for future development.

We can only hope that our current Dinosaurs promoting Conservative values and philosophy may become more Progressive and accepting of change and perhaps more Liberal in their thinking, allowing them to join the crimson tide in four years time.

Merv Parker,
