So, not much changed locally, with the exception of conservative Susan Truppe narrowly taking Glen Pearson's riding.
Mr. Pearson reflects on this in his blog: The Parallel Parliament.
A hightlight from his May 6th post:
"But the truth is I was never comfortable in politics. I have the instincts of a public servant, not those of a partisan politician. The House no longer functions well and a government found in contempt of that place now has a majority mandate – things are deeply dysfunctional, both in the House and among the citizenry."
As part of a community of anti-poverty activists, I recognize that the Harper government may slow any progress towards closing the gap between the rich and the poor. But, the work continues.
