Elections Everywhere

Today I got a call from a local campaign HQ with information about where they need me.  I'll be spending Saturday morning at Bungendore with Coffee Snob and her boyfriend before we head up to Sydney and close out the campaigning day possibly in Parramatta, Drummoyne, or Coogee.

And just this afternoon I found out that an election is imminent in Canada.  The campaign is likely to be in full swing when I visit next month, and this means possibly popping into the campaign HQ or a local campaign and helping out a bit for the first time on a Canadian campaign since 1997.  I've sometimes benefitted from being the guy from overseas both in Australia and in Britain, and now it looks like I might get the chance to build a list of contacts in Canada again.  I get the feeling that I will enjoy my time on the Canadian campaign much more than the last Australian campaign.  I'm choosing to be there rather than being "sentenced" to it, it won't last as long, and I won't be isolated amongst the geriatric hens like I was last year.  I may even get through the whole show without punching a hole in the wall!
