Sea Change

What a difference a couple of weeks makes! First, we got our first Green MP, Blair Wilson from the riding of West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country on August 30. Then the federal election campaign began on Sunday Sept. 7 (the day after my 45th birthday - nice birthday present from Harper). And of course yesterday Harper and Layton bowed to Canadians' sense of fairness and democracy, and Elizabeth May will be in the televised leaders' debates on October 1 and 2.

For me and all the other people running as candidates or working on campaigns for the Green Party of Canada in this election, we know that a sea change is occurring in a positive way. Never before in Canadian history has there been a Green MP. Never before in Canadian history has a Green Party leader been included in the televised leaders' debates. As a member of my team, Barbara Stephen, remarked, "With Elizabeth blowing fair winds into the sails, who knows what can be achieved!"

Take care,
