Well, I think activism must move forward on the broadest possible front.
Last Friday the leader of the Green Party of Canada, Elizabeth May. made a non-compete deal with the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada to try to beat the sitting Conservative MP, Foreign Minister Peter MacKay, in the riding where I live.
Friday night Elizabeth, an anti, celebrated her coup at our home here in the woods with pasta and red wine. We talked gun control. Saturday night I met with Peter, who is working flat out to get rid of the long-gun registry.
I've been working with Peter on this for years. Coming Saturday I'll be schmoozing at the "non-political" Ducks Unlimited dinner to bring some friends around to our view. The anti socialist party federal candidate is visiting us next week.
And so it goes, as Vonnegut said. Moving anything forward can't be done along partisan lines. There's no progress talking to friends. It doesn't work that way here.
