Yes, We're still on the campaign trail - for another few weeks yet. It's not much different from being on the road - not really. It's constant movement - constant surprises and constant unexpected things coming your way.
So far it's been an excellent ride. At Jim Routledge's Open House last night I got a chance to meet some terrific people. I was most impressed with a man named Kevin, who oversees the Balmoral Hotel - a supported housing project in the South End. He's a man who has come up through the ranks himself. He knows addiction and all the issues that go with it first hand. And let me say that he's as fine a human being as I have ever met. He's wise, he's smart and he's got a heart a mile wide. No wonder the Balmoral is doing well.
These success stories abound. They start with a community opening its heart to welcome all its members and to work hard at finding the best solutions for all.
Other terrific people there included Darcy Olsen and Dianne Brennan - both running for City Council.
We have very good people in this community who are putting themselves forward to serve the public. I only hope we give them the respect they deserve by getting out and voting. It's such a simple thing to do and it means more than we can possibly imagine.
