Frida Ghitis writes to friends and family planning to vote Liberal: I’m voting for change.

Ghitis: All of us fear the growing divide between Canadians , between left and right, East and West , male and female, Black, white and brown, gay, lesbian and straight.

She says Conservatives had too much hostility for folks unlike themselves, from marijuana smokers to women seeking abortions, from Indigenous people to gays and lesbians, it's time for tolerance, she says. Ghitis says Conservatives promise to end this new form of racism and sexism.
