The momentum continues to grow

Another exhilarating week on the campaign trail.We started again at UBC and were happy to see our efforts pay off with positive coverage in their print and the radio. Thanks to Dan from CiTR's Solarization as his tough questions will only help the Baptism of Fire on Rafe Mair's show tomorrow morning.

Our Whistler trip to meet with a Guru of Sustainability, Mayor O'Reilly, has paid dividends with a positive story in the Whistler Pique.You have to love those elected officials who welcome public discourse on issues of sustainability and The Natural Step regardless of partisan stripe.

Had some television time this week on Community TV. Pedro, the interviewer, is one of the most sincere and socially caring individuals that I have met in some time. It was fascinating to learn about perpetual polling. Sorry Pedro, we are pragmatic in Vancouver Point Grey. We have the opportunity to make small positive changes to our electoral system now. Any moderate move to more proportionality is a move in the right direction. Check out Channel 4 next Saturday at 6 PM or Sunday at 9PM. Drop me a line and tell me what you think.


We want to walk the talk at UBC and thus The Green Party Team entered in Canada's largest intramural event, "Storm the Wall" and came 2nd in our heat. It was nice to meet Mel. He seems like a nice man. I wonder how many of his younger than 40 supporters will end up voting Green in Vancouver Point Grey.

This week will be a barnburner. Coffee and conversation party tomorrow night. There are some very sharp environmental and media professionals coming over. Imagine the Q&A session will resemble a Natural Step Masters Program class in Sweden.

UBC, canvassing, and UBC Law School Environmental on Wednesday this week. The Liberals are avoiding us like the plague right now. No show at the HEU, no show on Rafe tommorrow I understand and no show at UBC Law School debate last I heard. Hmm what does that say about they're respect for democracy.

Here's to Stephen Abbott Communications and to squashing Pitfall Number Five for First Time Political Candidates (running to lose) ... Jim Green lost by 1463 votes in 1996.

I did not leave a good job to lose this election.

Drop us a line to co-create history in Vancouver Point Grey.

Sincerely,
Damian
