Go Habs Go
I'm going to the Habs/Canucks game tonight. I can't wait.
I had some good meetings in Seattle on Tuesday with people who will hopefully be able to help us with the school of natural medicine. No money from any of them, but I think we've laid some good groundwork to have volunteers come over in the future.
On Wednesday I went over to Shawnigan to do a presentation to the school in chapel the next morning. I think it was well received and I really enjoyed doing it. I talked a bit about our work with water and also about our responsibility to help others. Tony Cape, motivational speaker extraordinaire. After the speech, one of the teachers came up to me and got me to talk to two of his Economics 12 classes, as they had been talking about water lately. It was very informal, but I had a blast. And then I got a commitment from the school to raise some money for a well or two, so I'm thrilled about that. The place seems to be running really well--very professional. There also seems to be less cynicism among the students than when I was there. You can read about my talk and see a truly appalling picture of me at www.sls.bc.ca. Go to the 'School Life/SLS Today' page.
And what would this be without an election thought/rant. It's the home stretch. The Toronto media has pulled out all the stops trying to get a Conservative to say something crazy. Liberal fearmongering is at a fever pitch. I don't think it will work though. Martin is done and to that I say good riddance. He's been a truly pathetic PM, especially considering the high hopes I had for him. One last thing on the election. At first I didn't really mind being told my values "weren't Canadian". But after hearing your PM say it over and over and have so many people agree with it is depressing. What makes me less Canadian than anyone else? For a party that craps all over the Republicans, the Liberals use the exact same tactic, even more so, IMHO. They paint anyone who disagrees with them as un-Canadian. Anyways, hopefully I'll be celebrating with "Beer and Popcorn (tm)" on Monday night.
