The Campaign Trail

One of the best things about a campaign are the friendships that you form. You are often amazed by how people offer to help you in many ways - hosting get-togethers, manning phone banks, selling memberships, and a whole host of other activities.

It looks as though the push for memberships will last at least 5-6 more weeks, so all this help is greatly appreciated - especially with 4 people in the race.

When I decided to run, I wanted this campaign to be about ideas, not anger, and certainly not the status quo. This blog, I hope, will give a glimpse into some of the ideas and views that will guide me if I am fortunate enough to be our riding's next MPP.

In this day and age of 30 second soundbites and image conscious media, style often overtakes substance. Yet, substance determines whether or not a term in Queen's Park will be a success or a failure.

A nomination and an election become meaningless if they do not lead to a better outcome for a community.
