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:

The Disposable Generation
Unless you've been touched by this sort of thing, chances are you don't know how much this goes on. Many baby boomers are being tossed aside in favour of younger people, who will work for cheaper wages and are malable. How unfair is that!
