The world from the perspective of a young political activist living in beautiful Langford, British Columbia. December 17, 2011. It's only been. oh, 3 months since I last posted here. I didn't think it was that long. In complete fairness though, I had an election to conduct folks and if you've ever done one, you would know it eats up plenty of your time, thus my absence. Look at me talking about my blog as if so many people read it. I'll be back. maybe. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Grant Alyn McLachlan: Jack Layton
http://grantalynmclachlan.blogspot.com/2011/08/jack-layton.html
The world from the perspective of a young political activist living in beautiful Langford, British Columbia. August 22, 2011. Yesterday's news that Jack Layton has passed away after fighting cancer is shocking and saddening. Obviously, my thoughts and prayers are with Olivia Chow and Jack's family. If there is any consolation during this difficult time it is that Jack is no longer in pain. He is now with the angels, his family and even his hero Tommy Douglas. He can now ride his bike into the sun...Octob...

The world from the perspective of a young political activist living in beautiful Langford, British Columbia. May 22, 2011.
