Recently a long time friend from my home town up in Canada told me that her mother was running for the mayor of Vancouver, British Columbia.
I have read stories about Betty Krawczyk's fights with the logging companies up in British Columbia. Betty is an activist in every sense of the word and she doesn't sit on her laurels. She has been thrown in jail more then once because she wouldn't back down for what she believed in. She's a strong and admirable woman who has really made a difference. She is a fighter for the rights of nature and people.
I say go Betty, win this political place in BC's history and really make it a Green place to live.
Here's Betty Krawczyk's blog:

Update On The Disposible Generation
As luck would have it my husband has been successful in finding a new job. However, this situation caused him a lot of stress. Fortunately he's in good condition and his health didn't suffer too much.
This new position he has will be a huge change. First, his commute now is twice as far as it was before. This may mean he will have to purchase a scooter to get to work. If not it will mean that he will continue to bike to work which will give me use of the vehicle a few times a week. That's fine, I just want to make sure I have use of it for my medical appointments. The traffic he's going to have to encounter will be much worse then with his last commute because he's going to have to go out onto streets without bike lanes.
The second change for him is the size of the place he will be working at. Its much smaller and he rather likes this. He will even get an office.
The third change is in our medical situation. We will have to change doctors and even our dentist will be different. Unfortunately with this job there will be minimal dental care offered. Plus no eye care is available and he won't be getting a pension. So we will have to adjust to this new situation.
Thank God that he found work so quickly. There are many unfortunate people who never find a new job because of age discrimination in the work place.
