ExtendaCampaign: Week 1

And what a week it's been. We've had the earliest televised debate with everyone that we've ever had (craftily shown on CityTV and Macleans.ca instead of on CBC, and coinciding with the Republican candidates' debate featuring scene-stealer Trump - wonder what the ratings were for our debate?).
We've also been privy to further insight into our esteemed leader's priorities - albeit not always as he intended.

Two days ago, the RHSP tried to appeal to our couch potato sensibilities by attempting to convince that he is one of us. You like TV and movies, do you? And Breaking Bad? Hmmmm.....currently unconvinced that promising not to regulate our binge watching is the way to win the trust of the nation.....


Aside: Cheers to the twitter-verse for its genius comments such as Orange is the New Government and Better Robocall Saul.

And secondly, on the same day, while attending the aforementioned debates, Harper decided to inadvertently share with us his true sensibilities towards the environment, transportation and easing traffic congestion.....by parking his bus in this bike lane....

When asked to move, the driver refused. Huh. Apparently actions do speak louder than emotionless, teleprompted words.

Do it now!

Dan McGuire says cycling is therapeutic and gives him purpose.How have we not heard more about Dan Macguire?! My thanks to Stuart Maclean, who featured Dan's story today on the Vinyl Cafe. I hope that the national audience the show boasts will help to spread this story. It should inspire each and every one of us in numerous ways. To get up and move. To stop complaining. To not make excuses. To try. To persist. To move, move, move.

Thanks, Dan, for everything you've accomplished and everything that you will accomplish.

And please, national news sources, spread Dan's story! Replace the dozens of articles about celebrity break-ups and weight losses, and share something meaningful!

For more, read this.
Till next time,
J.
