Campaign Trail

I was on the campaign trail the last few days with Jim Harris, Leader of the Green Party of Canada so it has been pretty hectic. We were in Calgary, Red Deer and Edmonton and we had a lot of fun. We talked to a lot of people about the Green Party.

Jim told me that 30% of the Green parties vote in the B.C. election came from people who would not have voted for anyone else. Another 30% came from parties on the right and 40% came from parties on the left. This to me is great news. It means that we are pulling votes from across the spectrum but not only that we are bringing people back into the democratic process. If all I do in this election is give people something to vote for, something to believe in, then I will feel good about what I have done.

I believe we are doing more than that though. I believe we are articulating a plan for a just transition to a sustainable society. I am in Drumheller tomorrow at the civic building downtown at 7:00 PM. If you are in Drumheller and can make it come out.
