I’ve
decided to re-enter the political sphere – having never really left it in the
first place and despite saying last year that I would not run this time.
Admittedly, I was on the fence about running this time. I wanted to take the summer
to make up my mind. I received lots of
encouragement from lots of people and I saw lots of things going on that I
thought I could make some contribution to.
My son Harrison
gave me the push I needed.
He and his
friends spent their time this summer in the Town’s two skate board parks. One afternoon he came home complaining about
the fact that rocks were all over the park and that the equipment could be
better placed. I showed him the broom and
before he went off with it, I proceeded to give him a ‘sermon’ on the need to make
the Town aware – be a part of the solution – make suggestions by contacting the
Town’s Recreation Director, Garry Gosse.
Quickly a
calmly he suggested to me that my sermon was nice but - maybe I should apply
the same line of reasoning to me and my own concerns - let’s say he pointed out that I
was a HIPOCRITE. He was right - I needed to be part of the solution as well.
Anyway,
here we go into my second foray into municipal politics. I learned so much last time and It’s good to
see that I am learning lots this time as well.
I love listening and learning – help me listen and learn even more by voting for me on September 24th.
