you know all those suburban pubs and clubs you kind of laugh at, point at, and make elaborate plans to visit one day, not that youll follow through? i went to all of them last night. yes, i went to the paddlewheeler, the thirsty duck, pub med, and fever on a bus full of green party supporters, including candidates scott janzen (burnaby-new west) and sven biggs (new west-coquitlam).
contact with voters was very positive - i think the fact sven and scott are so dang cute and nice on top of being informative certainly helped. i even saw people *reading* the pamphlet i gave them with their green mardi gras beads (no flashing required). policy talk eventually gave way to free bar drinks and rounds of alcohol administered either by green jello shooter or by squirt gun. all the school bus mates were a favourable combination of rowdy and decent, so good times were had by all.
(yes, angus, we sang god save the queen on the school bus.)
sigh, such a good crew. it almost makes me wish this stupid election wasnt over yet.
apologies for the lack of posting, but i really do think this election is stupid, depressing, and not worth discussing. depressing election aside, the green party has been worth the afternoons spent hitting the pavement. i cant wait to see the results roll in.
Take a look at this election results analysis tool described on this site:

I'm suprised you didn't do a couple of postivie posts about the Greens. They had a much better platform this time and occasionally recieved even bigger props than the NDP in the case of the Sierra Club and NORML.
