Signing up new members on the Left and on the Right

Nothing like having momentum on our side.
Over forty new members signed up in last two weeks.

Our grassroots form of campaigning can beat the $100,000 phoning campaign that Gordon Campbell has underway in Vancouver Point Grey.

They've actually phoning our campaign team as well.

From what we're hearing people are seeing through the environmental good news that the Liberals are starting to release. Great to see Cathedral Grove on the Tofino highway enlarged to 500 acres. Imagine that the Liberals will look to highlight the impending Great Bear Rainforest announcement as well. Don't get me wrong preserving these rainforests is the best news that I've heard all week (it was good to get my car filled up on waste vegetable oil again and be running Green House Gas neutral as well). But you have to wonder about the timing of all these Green annoucements. The Liberals are scared in Vancouver Point Grey. They know the people want to send some Green MLA's to Victoria. Wouldn't it be great if Gordon Campbell had to force one of his colleagues to vacate their riding seat so he could sit in the house.

I can't wait to champion renewable energy and preventative health care in the house.

It was another non stop week.

Rafe Mair show ~ Rafe was easy on us first time candidates (Gregor and I), I loved how he blasted the Liberals for not sending anyone and asking Rafe not to do the show, I was strong on fish farms but considering my economics background I should have hit a home run on the budget question, next time

UBC tabling ~ we're trucking along and building support for the Green Party across the lower mainland

UBC Law School Environmental Policy Forum ~ felt pretty good about the debate, check out the photo, it was a frightening hommogenous group of candidates, can't wait to see the gender diverse Greens in Vancouver Quilchena and Vancouver Mount Pleasant stir it up ... we signed up 6 new members after the debate .... I must of done all right ... there was no real winner though

Good news ~ our phamplets are ready, watch for them, they're sharp, thanks Chris!
