It’s been a while since my last posting. I’ve really enjoyed taking time for myself to both unwind from an intense period of balancing work, volunteering and school. My gym membership and my Kindle have been well used for the past month!
With that said, I’m been thinking about finding a volunteer opportunity again. I’ve committed to my local community association as a way to help out in my immediate neighbourhood and I’ve been thinking about helping out the Green Party of Ontario (GPO) locally in preparation for the election in 2011. In helping me to make this decision, I want to ask any readers I have (the few but dedicated bunch J) if they have any thoughts about either the GPO or getting involved in politics. I really like the leader of the party; Mike Schreiner, and they have a group of people involved who I have a high amount of respect for. I’m curious to find out if this opinion is shared.
So, if you have a moment: What do you look for in a local politician or political party? What is it that is going to help you decide who to vote for in the Ontario election this October? Are you open to the idea that the GPO is an organization that represents your values?
