A great crowd was on hand at Acadia on Oct. 20 to participate in the one of the many student climate strikes taking place throughout the world. I was on hand to take part, talk to the crowd, hand out some of the NDP's climate change strategy flyers, and to give a pre-scheduled interview with Todd Battis of CTV News. My daughter Eve was on hand which prompted this email message from a new Wolfville resident:
| "My daughter, who is deeply interested in politics, is attending Wolfville School (grade four) and came home to tell me that a fellow classmate was away from school participating in a climate change strike. She wants to be involved as well. Upon further questioning, it was evident that this girl's father was running for MP. While we had been undecided in which way to vote for this election, both my husband and I thought it remarkable that a candidate would take the issue of climate change seriously enough to have his daughter be both informed and engaged in taking action. We desperately need that kind of commitment and leadership in the times ahead. We will be voting NDP in this election." |
