A Nanos poll conducted for the Globe and Mail confirms what was obvious to pretty much everyone: Canadians want Elizabeth May in the debate even if they don’t support the Green Party.

Richard Muller has led a team of statisticians and physicists to review temperature data, hoping to debunk climate science.  The project was funded by oil billionaire Koch brothers.  But as careful scientists, Muller’s team have instead been forced to admit at a Congressional panel that the data seem to indicate the opposite — climate change is real and the work of climate scientists has been accurate.

So many things I want to do.  Like post pictures of the flyers, postcards and bookmarks we’re distributing; make sure we get literature out in other languages; get caught up on the signs already.  And sleep.

Our first flyers are in and distribution is about to begin.  As of last night, our signs were finally on the presses.  The company had been having problems with their presses, causing a delay of 3 days.  But this weekend we hope to start getting lawn signs out.

I also canvassed my first poll with cards in hand.  That’s what I’ll be doing for most of the rest of the campaign.  Getting out and meeting people.
