Coming Home: Done in Victoria...for Now

Well,

My time in Victoria has come to a close. About a week ago I was super excited to be back to Vancouver and have my space back, but now as it all comes to an end i'm a bit sad. it's always how it is when periods or phases in our life come to a close. It always seems to drip rain on such days, or if it's nice it still feels like it's raining.

The greens didn't win any seats but we promise to keep on working for the next 4 years until the next election. I thought we would at least get something. My candidate Adam Saab did very well winning 17 percent of the Vote.

What kind of annoys me is that we didn't even pass BC-STV for electoral reform. We were so close in 2005 with 58% of voters saying yes that i figured with all of the education in the last few months about STV it would have easily passed. But somehow the no side grew to something like 61%. Unbelievable.

So i plan on continuing with the video posts, but i'm not really sure how i'm going to do it. here in victoria i've had adam's video camera as well as his mac computer to upload and edit the videos on. I'll figure it out as soon as possible. Thanks for reading thus far.

hugs
