Letter sent to Prime Minister Harper - Aug 3rd 09

President Obama recently held a dinner to honour Ramadan and the contribution of American Muslims to the United States. I suggest that you, as Prime Minister hold a similar dinner to honour the contribution of Canadian Jews to Canada on the upcoming Jewish New Year. Canadian Jews on a per capita basis joined the WW11 effort in greater numbers than any other group. We have participated in politics, the economy, the military, and all other facets of Canadian society. As a whole, we have adopted Canadian values and become an integral part of Canadian society. Such a speech would give you an opportunity to emphasize Canadian values, values based on Judeo-Christian morality. It would give you an opportunity to emphasize the importance of a good family life, which Jews are known for, our terrific English common law which is based on the best of biblical law, and our values of religious and racial equality.

A would suggest that you also hold a similar function this upcoming Christmas. We hear much about the contribution of minorities. The contribution of the majority population should also be addressed and appreciated.
