Tonight I missed most of the leaders' debate because I was attending the 60th Anniversary Party of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights! Twenty human rights defenders received volunteer awards from Amnesty International Lethbridge. I am honoured to be one of them. (I will not mention the names of the others to protect their privacy). It's amazing to see how Amnesty International Lethbridge has grown from a group of five in January 2007 meeting at Mary Kosta's home (three attended, plus Mary and her husband), to a group of 30 or 40 tonight at a local church (which supplies space for free). Congratulations, Mary!
The tail end of the leaders' debate was fascinating, but to hear the Keith Boag of CBC give such praise to Jack Layton was gravy. It's not often that CBC is quite so positive to the NDP.
Lastly canvassing is going very well as are the forums. I receive positive feedback about forums. Showing up well in forums is not much related to electoral success--look at the absent Conservative candidates in the Calgary debates--but it helps.
