Once a year, at Christmas, it’s nice to settle down to watch Charlie Brown’s special.  So, perhaps for International Buy Nothing Day, you would enjoy The Story of Stuff:

Glen Murray is seriously considering campaigning for Mayor of Toronto, and I’d love for you to have the opportunity to meet him and ask him questions in this casual setting.  This is a great way to get a sense of the issues and ideas that will define what is sure to be a hard-fought and important election campaign.

In short, I think it really matters that we elect the right mayor, and I’m excited about what Glen’s candidacy could bring.

If you’ve been to The Ben Wicks before, you’ll know it to be a great atmosphere to enjoy a pint and talk some politics.

Of course, all are welcome to come hang out.  See you there!
