Woke up this morning in excruciating pain - much worse than usual and I have no idea why ??? - and passed on going to Hamilton to support the NDP where Jack Layton was
appearing today.
Very upset with myself for not pushing the limit and going anyway...
Was a time when NOTHING would have stopped me... what have I become?
Oh, to be feeling great even ONE day out of the week would be a treat...
I KNOW it will happen soon...
*********************************************************
Jack had amazing coverage on CBC NewsWorld this morning..

.
He actually berated and belittled BOTH the Liberals AND the Conservatives, rather than just the Liberals this time. Was a good slap at the Conservatives when he did this...
He was also quoted as saying Canadians would much rather see a Government that the people WANT.
Toronto has a very strong NDP riding and they are trying to change Jack being the only one who actually holds a seat in Parliament in that area... I'm pretty sure from the Poll results I've seen and heard, that Jack WILL be successful.
The NDP have gained quite a bit of respect and garnered more
attention to the issues which the Liberals were ignoring, like
forcing Parliament to make decisions on issues such as Same Sex
Marriage and Health Care...
I see wonderful things coming for the NDP.
I will make a point of pursuing this Party and Jack relentlessly, to include Cannabis Legalization among other very important issues in his/our vision for this Country.
On Monday, January 23, 2006, cast your vote with the Party who cares.
A Party devoted to the working men and women of Canada.
A Party with compassion.
A Party for clean air and a healthy lifestyle.
Jack Layton and the NDP WILL make a POSITIVE difference to Canada's Political scene - just watch and see...
On Monday, January 23, 2006 - Vote NDP!
Love and a Squish,
Alison Myrden
Former NDP Candidate
