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.

We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors: we borrow it from our children.

I am inspired by the visionaries who populate the Green Party and the hope and the fear that drives us all.  But getting anything done about it requires simple hard work.  And that’s what this campaign is all about.  Hard work by dedicated people making careful steps for the better.     Read more »

That kind of sums it up.  What a wonderful send-off I got from my whole team, plus other supporters from this riding and others.

Former Green Party leader Jim Harris at last night’s event: “No wonder the other leaders don’t want Elizabeth May in the debates – because she would mop the floor with them”.

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.

I’ve been stunned by the number of people walking into our office, many not even Green Party supporters, asking what they can do to help Elizabeth get into the debates.

Here’s what you can do:  Sign the petition.  Find out more.

I have 18 boxes of cards sitting in the campaign office, ready to be handed out to the public.  I can’t wait to start.

I’m exhausted.  I had to take over the office today because my campaign manager had other non-campaign duties.  He had thought he could do them while managing the campaign, but it has just been too busy.

We have had a tremendous response from people outraged at Elizabeth’s exclusion from the debates.  Even non-Green voters are walking into the office and asking who they can write to  in order to get Elizabeth in.

The campaign feels good.  Positive and wonderful.  I hope and expect sense to prevail.  Elizabeth will be in the debates.
