I grabbed my cam, some tape and tore my girlfriend Gail away from her sewing (Historical Garment Retailors) and drove over to the Washago train station to catch Elizabeth May's Whistle Stop. My friend Valerie Powell is our Green Party Simcoe North candidate and has been part of Elizabeth May's shadow government for many years now. The train was very late, so Gail and I went for cappuccinos and when we got back ..the train started coming in so i was shooting and running at the same time..won't make that mistake again.
Anyway whether the Green Party should rule our country or not is not for me to say...all I have ever tried to do in my promotion of the GP is to get Elizabeth May in on the debates, and increase the votes so the Green Party will get more funding. When you vote strategically (or for the lesser of two evils which most people relate to me) you are actually financing them. If you want to vote Green then do it.. not only will you not be wasting your vote but you will be a) assisting them to get government financing and b) putting your intention out to the universe. In the U.S. the fight to get the Green Party in on their debates was ongoing as well. Ralph Nader and Ron Paul have been trying to get third parties in on the debates for years.
Right now I am just happy that there is now some strong feminine energy in the form of these Warriors Women Leaders in the Green Party: Elizabeth May and Valerie Powell in Canada and Cynthia McKinney and Rose Clemente in the U.S.
Here is the little quick and dirty editing job I did on the whistle stop..it does show how Elizabeth is not only smart and powerful but loving and caring at the same time..how many of the guys hug their constituents??
