Thank you Mr. Dion.
Thank you for your inspiration. Watching you during this election campaign, watching the assault you were faced with, watching the risks that you took, watching the way you carried yourself, was inspiring. You made me more interested in politics than I ever have been in my entire life.
You were different. You weren't a "politician." You were thoughtful. You were caring. You were intelligent. You were the opposite of every other political figure on the news. You spoke directly to people. You answered their questions not with sound bites, but with real consideration for what was being asked. Perhaps this is why you were attacked at every opportunity. Perhaps this is why some people weren't as taken to you as they should have been.
But I was.
I haven't posted anything here in years. Ironically the last thing I posted was in regards to your selection as Liberal leader.
This election hurts me.
Not just because the party I support has fallen. Not just because the Conservatives have inched closer to a majority. But because of the way you have been treated.
But it shouldn't surprise me. Since the day you were elected leader you were faced with nothing but disrespect. The media criticized you. The Conservatives ridiculed you. Your own party speculated that you were not the right man for the job. It's insulting and it's wrong. Even as you have suffered a very public defeat while attempting to restore the Liberal Party to glory, there are voices in the shadows. People looking for your job. People looking to pounce on you. People looking to blame you.
You are not perfect, but no one is. What you are is a kind, generous, strong, intelligent man that been insulted and attacked for your ideas, your speeches, your policies, your accent and your appearance.
You don't deserve that.
You answered the call when Canada needed you. You answered the call when the Liberal Party needed you. And you deserve better.
You deserve our thanks.
Thank you Stephane Dion.
Thank you for listening and caring and thinking. Thank you for standing up to every assault you were faced with and forging forward. Thank you for inspiring me.
Now you are faced with questions about your future. Questions from the media and questions from your own party. And whatever you decide to do I hope that you make the right decision for yourself and for your family. You have given our country so much that now it is time for you to be selfish and do what is best for Stephane Dion.
Take care.
- Rick

Excellent post and very valid sentiments. I think it has shown me that people really want politicians to be politicians. I'll have to ponder that a while. We don't want truly honest, human politicians. We really do want them to be something else.
I think Dion deserves his thanks for putting himself out there, as it is clearly not his natural element.
